survey of the Van Hove scenario for high-Tc superconductivity with special emphasis on pseudogaps and striped phases

The Van Hove singularity (VHS) provides a paradigm for the study of the role of peaks in the density of states (dos) on electronic properties. More importantly, it appears to play a major role in the physics of the high-Tc superconductors, particularly since recent photoemission studies have found t...
