. Allows the investigation of the normal state underlying the superconducting state, by forcing a symmetric Weiss function, we can follow the normal state near the Mott transition. Earlier studies (Katsnelson and Lichtenstein, M. Jarrell, M Hettler et. al. Phys. Rev. B 58, 7475 (1998). T. Maier et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett 85, 1524 (2000) ) used QMC as an impurity solver and DCA as cluster scheme. We use exact diag ( Krauth Caffarel 1995 with effective temperature 32/t=124/D ) as a solver and Cellular DMFT as the mean field scheme. CDMFT study of cuprates

To test if the formation of the hot and cold regions is the result of the proximity to Antiferromagnetism, we studied various values of t’/t, U=16.

Approaching the Mott transition: Qualitative effect, momentum space differentiation. Formation of hot –cold regions is an unavoidable consequence of the approach to the Mott insulating state! General phenomena, but the location of the cold regions depends on parameters. With the present resolution, t’ =.9 and.3 are similar. However it is perfectly possible that at lower energies further refinements and differentiation will result from the proximity to different ordered states.

Fermi Surface Shape Renormalization ( t eff ) ij =t ij + Re(  ij 

Fermi Surface Shape Renormalization Photoemission measured the low energy renormalized Fermi surface. If the high energy (bare ) parameters are doping independent, then the low energy hopping parameters are doping dependent. Another failure of the rigid band picture. Electron doped case, the Fermi surface renormalizes TOWARDS nesting, the hole doped case the Fermi surface renormalizes AWAY from nesting. Enhanced magnetism in the electron doped side.

oQualitative Difference between the hole doped and the electron doped phase diagram is due to the underlying normal state.” In the hole doped, it has nodal quasiparticles near ( ,  /2) which are ready “to become the superconducting quasiparticles”. Therefore the superconducing state can evolve continuously to the normal state. The superconductivity can appear at very small doping. oElectron doped case, has in the underlying normal state quasiparticles leave in the (  0) region, there is no direct road to the superconducting state (or at least the road is tortuous) since the latter has QP at (  /2,  /2).

Alternative view

DMFT is a useful mean field tool to study correlated electrons. Provide a zeroth order picture of a physical phenomena. Provide a link between a simple system (“mean field reference frame”) and the physical system of interest. [Sites, Links, and Plaquettes] Formulate the problem in terms of local quantities (which we can usually compute better). Allows to perform quantitative studies and predictions. Focus on the discrepancies between experiments and mean field predictions. Generate useful language and concepts. Follow mean field states as a function of parameters. Conclusions

Qualitative effect, momentum space differentiation. Formation of hot –cold regions is an unavoidable consequence of the approach to the Mott insulating state! General phenomena, but the location of the cold regions depends on parameters. Study the “normal state” of the Hubbard model is useful. On the hole doped normal and superconducting state can be connected to each other as in the RVB scenario. High Tc superconductivity may result follow from doping a Mott insulator phase but it is not necessarily follow from it. One may not be able to connect the Mott insulator to the superconductor if the nodes are in the “wrong place”.
