We outline the basic ideas involved in a recently proposed derivation of a gauge theory for underdoped cuprates in the "spin-gap phase", performed essentially step by step starting from the t-J model, considered as a model Hamiltonian for the CuO_2 layers. The basic tool is the U(1)XSU(2) Chern-Simons bosonization, to which it is dedicated a somewhat detailed discussion. The basic output is a "spin-gap" not vanishing in any direction and an antiferromagnetic correlation length proportional to the inverse square root of doping concentration, in agreement with data deduced from the neutron experiments. The model also exhibits a small half-pocket Fermi surface around (\pi/2, \pi/2) and a linear in temperature dependence of in-plane resistivity in certain temperature range.

Abstract
We outline the basic ideas involved in a recently proposed derivation of a gauge theory for underdoped cuprates in the "spin-gap phase", performed essentially step by step starting from the t-J model, considered as a model Hamiltonian for the CuO_2 layers. The basic tool is the U(1)XSU(2) Chern-Simons bosonization, to which it is dedicated a somewhat detailed discussion. The basic output is a "spin-gap" not vanishing in any direction and an antiferromagnetic correlation length proportional to the inverse square root of doping concentration, in agreement with data deduced from the neutron experiments. The model also exhibits a small half-pocket Fermi surface around (\pi/2, \pi/2) and a linear in temperature dependence of in-plane resistivity in certain temperature range.Pubblicazioni consigliate
