53 Theoretical concepts
54 Theoretical concepts
55 Theoretical concepts (a) Pseudogap is a precursor of the superconducting gap which is due to strong fluctuations (because of the reduced dimensionality, local pairing, etc). (b) Pseudogap is not related to sc gap. It represents some other type of ordering which is competing with the sc phase.
56 Pair fluctuations
57 Pair fluctuations Usual mean field solution (i.e. the saddle point) neglects an influence of any fluctuations.
58 Pair fluctuations One can describe the small fluctuations via Gaussian corrections.
59 The effective physics
60 The effective physics Without a specific pairing mechanism being established we propose to describe the coherent (for T < T c ) or incoherent (for T > T c ) fermion pairs using the phenomenological boson-fermion model.
61 The effective physics Without a specific pairing mechanism being established we propose to describe the coherent (for T < T c ) or incoherent (for T > T c ) fermion pairs using the phenomenological boson-fermion model. The dark areas denote such parts of the I-st Brillouin zone where the local (electron or hole) pairs exist.

This Goldstone mode is a hallmark of the symmetry broken state. Such a unique situation could be observed in the case of ultracold fermion atoms, otherwise the Coulomb repulsions lift this mode to the high plasmon frequency.
