Abstract

We study the superconducting transition in a doped Mott insulator described by the bosonic resonating-valence-bond theory. In this theory, antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity are unified within a single framework. The superconducting condensation and spin correlations are mutually influenced by one another. Spin excitations play an important role of frustrations on the superconducting phase coherence at a finite temperature and control the transition temperature through a characteristic spin energy scale. We systematically investigate the superconducting transition by using duality transformations and a renormalization group analysis. The theory naturally connects the superconducting transition with the destruction of phase coherence and spin dynamics, in good agreement with experiment. The presence of staggered current loops and other related properties is also discussed.
