QED3 as an effective theory of the pseudogap phase in underdoped cuprates

Iorwerth O. Thomas

A version of non‐compact QED in 2+1 dimensions (QED3), with anisotropies introduced by differing Fermi and gap velocities in the spatial directions has been proposed as an effective theory of the SDW‐pseudogap phase transition in underdoped cuprates at T=0. Preliminary simulations using lattice gauge theory techniques suggest that matters are a little more complicated than previously thought; in particular, measurements of the fermion propagator in Landau gauge indicate that one should be cautious in inferring properties of this form of QED3 from those of isotropic QED3.

Elusive gauge-invariant fermion propagator in QED-like effective theories: round II

Dmitri V. Khveshchenko

We comment on the recent attempt by M. Franz et al [1] to further justify their earlier calculation of the gauge-invariant electron propagator in the context of the QED_3 theory of the pseudogap phase in cuprates [2]. First, we use the method of "reductio ad absurdum" to demonstrate the inconsistency of the argument offered in [2] and then present a direct calculation of the disputed fermion amplitudes, thus unequivocally proving that the previously proposed form of the electron propagator: 1) does exhibit a negative anomalous dimension, as pointed out in [3]; 2) is different from the so-called Brown's function whose anomalous dimension turns out to be positive when computed in a covariant gauge. Lastly, we conjecture that the true physical electron propagator (whose exact form still remains to be found) may feature a "super-Luttinger" behavior characterized by a faster than a power-law decay G(x)~exp(-const\ln^2|x|).
