Understanding the pseudo-gap phase which opens in the under-doped regime of cuprate superconductors is one of the most enduring challenges of the physics of these compounds. A depletion in the electronic density of states is observed, which is gapping out part of the Fermi surface, leading to the formation of mysterious lines of massless excitations- the Fermi arcs. Here we give a new theoretical account of the physics of the pseudo-gap phase in terms of the emergence of local patches of particl ...[more]
