Present status of the theory of the high-Tc cuprates

The Gutzwiller projected mean-field theory, also called plain vanilla or renormalized meanfield
 theory, is explained and its successes and possible extensions in describing the phenomenology
 of the cuprate superconductors are discussed. Throughout, we emphasize that while this&...

description The Gutzwiller projected mean-field theory, also called plain vanilla or renormalized meanfield
 theory, is explained and its successes and possible extensions in describing the phenomenology
 of the cuprate superconductors are discussed. Throughout, we emphasize that while this
 is a Hartree—Fock based BCS theory, it embodies fundamental differences from conventional
 perturbative many body theory which may be characterized by calling it a theory of the doped
 Mott insulator.

I have first of all to acknowledge my long-term
 collaborator Nai-Phuan Ong, for the innumerable
 times he has helped me with experimental know-how
 and theoretical comments. I should also acknowledge
 my collaborators in the plain vanilla exercise, T.M.
 Rice, P.A. Lee, Mohit Randeria, Nandini Trivedi and
 Fu-Chun Zhang, as well as others who were involved
 in finding the solution 17 years too early: Claudius
 Gros and Gabi Kotliar. Others who have helped keep
 my mind clear about experimental data have been
 Doug Bonn, Nicole Bontemps, Bernhard Keimer, Seamus
 Davis, Mike Norman, J.-C. Campuzano, Tom
 Timusk, Kam Moler; this is only a tiny fraction of the
 totality of individuals who have been helpful. But
 none of the above need take any responsibility for
 what I say here. Finally, there is my good friend and
 sounding board, V. Muthukumar.
