Title: Fractionalized theory for intertwined orders and hole pockets in the cuprate pseudogap
Abstract: I review old and recent experimental results on the enigmatic pseudogap phase of the hole-doped cuprates. I argue that the evidence implies an underlying metallic state with hole pockets which have a non-Luttinger area enclosed by the Fermi surface. Such a state must also feature a quantum spin liquid with fractionalization. I describe how the intertwined d-wave superconductivity and charge orders emerge from a fractionalized perspective.
