Abstract

We study the static and dynamic behavior of charge ordering within a d-wave pair pseudogap (pg) scenario. This is addressed using a density-density correlation function derived from the standard pg self-energy Σ and compatible with the longitudinal and transverse sum rules. The broadening factor γ in Σ reflects the breaking of pairs into constituent fermions. We apply this form for Σ (derived elsewhere for high fields) to demonstrate the existence of quantum oscillations in a non-Fermi liquid pg state. Our conclusion is that the pseudogap-induced pair breaking, via γ, allows the underlying fermiology to be revealed; d-wave (as distinct from s-wave) pairing in YBCO, with finite ω and γ enables antinodal fluctuations, despite their competition in the static and superconducting limits.
