If nematic fluctuations become strong, orders that break translational symmetry become progressively suppressed In the absence of a lattice in 2D smectic order is not possible (at T>0) (Toner & Nelson, 1980) Coupling to the lattice breaks continuous rotational invariance to the point group of the lattice For a square lattice the point group is C4 and the nematicisotropic transition is 2D Ising As the coupling to the lattice is weakened the structure of the phase diagram changes and the nematic transition is pushed to lower temperatures

123 PDW melting as a McMillan-de Gennes theory The electronic nematic order parameter is an antisymmetric traceless tensor N ij = N(ˆn iˆn j ij /2) Its presence amounts to a local change of the geometry, the local metric, seen by the charge 4e SC order parameter 4e the CDW order parameter and the PDW order K ±Q Metric tensor: g ij = ij + N ij Novel derivative couplings in the free energy F d = Z dx 2 p detg g ij n D cdw i K D cdw j K + +(Di sc ±Q) Dj sc ±Q + Di 4e 4e Dj 4e 4e o D sc i = i i2ea i ± iq n i D cdw i = i + i2q n i D 4e i = i i4ea i
124 Deep in the PDW phase the amplitude of the SC, CDW and nematic order parameters are fixed but their phases are not Z n F = d 2 s x 2 gij ( i 2eA i )( j 2eA j ) + 2 gij ( i + Q n i )( j + Q n j ) + K 1 ( n) 2 + K 3 ( n) 2 + h n 2o s = ±Q 2 + 4e 2 apple = ±Q 2 + K 2 Effective CDW stiffness reduced by gapped nematic fluctuations e = 1+ Q2 /h
125 Deep in the charge 4e nematic superconducting phase F = Z d 2 x K 2 + s 2 + sn 2 (n )2 and are the orientational nematic fluctuations and SC phase fluctuations in the absence of orientational pinning SC (half) vortices and nematic disclinations attract each other due to the fluctuations of the local geometry (nematic fluctuations): the only topological excitations are disclinations bound to half vortices If the nematic fluctuations are gapped by lattice effects there is a crossover to the pinned case discussed before Fermionic SC quasiparticles couple to the pair field which is uncondensed in the charge 4e SC. This leads to a pseudogap in the quasiparticle spectrum
126 Conclusions The static stripe order seen in LBCO and other LSCO related materials can be understood in terms of the PDW, a state in which charge, spin and superconducting orders are intertwined rather than competing This state competes with the uniform d-wave state Several predictions can be tested experimentally The observed nematic order is a state with fluctuating stripe order, i.e. it is a state with melted stripe order. Is the nematic state a melted PDW? Is the PDW peculiar to LBCO? If so why? If it is generic, why? A microscopic theory of the PDW is needed. This state is not accessible by a weak coupling BCS approach. Strong evidence in 1d Kondo-Heisenberg chain.
