Abstract
A computation of the cuprate phase diagram is presented. Adiabatic deformability back to the density function band structure plus symmetry constraints lead to a Fermi liquid theory with five interaction parameters. Two of these are forced to zero by experiment. The remaining three are fit to the moment of the antiferromagnetic state at half-filling, the superconducting gap at optimal doping, and the maximum pseudogap. The latter is identified as orbital antiferromagnetism. Solution of the Hartree-Fock equations gives, in quantitative agreement with experiment, (1) quantum phase transitions at 5% and 16% p-type doping, (2) insulation below 5%, (3) a d-wave pseudogap quasiparticle spectrum, (4) pseudogap and superconducting gap values as a function of doping, (5) superconducting Tc versus doping, (6) London penetration depth versus doping, and (7) spin wave velocity. The fit points to superexchange mediated by the bonding O atom in the Cu-O plane as the causative agent of all three ordering phenomena.
