Nearly Insulating Strongly Correlated Systems: Gossamer Superconductors and Metals
Bogdan A. Bernevig, George Chapline, Robert B. Laughlin +2
Recently a new phenomenological Hamiltonian was proposed to describe the superconducting cuprates in which correlations and on-site Coulomb repulsion are introduced by partial Gutz…
Metallic Nature of the Four-Dimensional Quantum Hall Edge
Y. D. Chong, R. B. Laughlin
We study the density response of the four-dimensional quantum Hall fluid found by Zhang and Hu, which has been advanced as a model of emergent relativity. We calculate the density-…
Magnetic Instability in Strongly Correlated Superconductors
Bogdan A. Bernevig, Robert B. Laughlin, David I. Santiago
Recently a new phenomenological Hamiltonian has been proposed to describe the superconducting cuprates. This so-called Gossamer Hamiltonian is an apt model for a superconductor wit…
Emergent Relativity
R. B. Laughlin
A possible resolution of the incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity is that the relativity principle is emergent. I show that the central paradox of black hole…
Interaction among particles with fractionalized quantum numbers in one dimensional samples
Bogdan A. Bernevig, Domenico Giuliano, Robert B. Laughlin
The elementary excitations of strongly correlated one-dimensional electronic systems - spinons and holons - are discussed in an exact solution of the Haldane-Shastry and Kuramoto-Y…
