37 S. Sachdev, Phys. Rev. B 45, 389 (1992), and N. Nagaosa and P.A. Lee, Phys. Rev. B 45, 966 (1992), suggested an enhancement of dynamic spin-gap correlations (as in a spin-gap Mott insulator) in the cores of vortices in the underdoped cuprates. In the simplest mean-field theory, this enhancement appears most easily for vortices with flux hc/e. D. P. Arovas, A. J. Berlinsky, C. Kallin, and S.-C. Zhang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2871 (1997) suggested static Néel order in the cores of vortices (SC order rotates into Néel order in SO(5) picture). Using a picture of dynamically fluctuating spins in the vortices, the amplitude of the field-induced signal, and the volume-fraction of vortex cores (~10%), Lake et al. estimated that in such a model each spin in the vortex core would have a lowfrequency moment equal to that in the insulating state at δ=0 (0.6 µ B ). Observed field-induced signal is much larger than anticipated.
