Amperean Pairing and the Pseudogap Phase of Cuprate Superconductors

The enigmatic pseudogap phase in underdoped cuprate high-T_{c} superconductors has long been recognized as a central puzzle of the T_{c} problem. Recent data show that the pseudogap is likely a distinct phase, characterized by a medium range and quasistatic charge ordering. However, the origin of th...
