Abstract

Charge density waves compete with superconductivity in cuprate materials, so it is important to understand them. A recent theory links charge density waves and superconductivity via an approximate SU(2) symmetry. We give a simplified version of this theory and discuss a few experiments which suggest that it may give a model that captures the essential physics of High-T_c cuprate superconductivity.
