In the Eliashberg integral equations for d-wave superconductivity, two different functions $(alpha^2 F)_n(omega, theta)$ and $(alpha^2 F)_{p,d}(omega)$ determine, respectively, the normal and the pairing self-energies. We present a quantitative analysis of the high-resolution laser based ARPES data on the compound Bi-2212 to deduce the function$(alpha^2 F)_n(omega, theta)$. Besides its detailed $omega$ dependence, we find the remarkable result that this function is nearly independent of $theta$ between the ($pi,pi$)-direction and 25 degrees from it. Assuming that the same fluctuations determine both the normal and the pairing self-energy, we ask what theories give the function $(alpha^2 F)_{p,d}(omega)$ required for the d-wave pairing instability at high temperatures as well as the deduced $(alpha^2 F)_n(theta, omega)$. We show that the deduced $(alpha^2 F)_n(theta, omega)$ can only be obtained from Antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations if their correlation length is smaller than a lattice constant. Using $(alpha^2 F)_{p,d}(omega)$ consistent with such a correlation length and the symmetry of matrix-elements scattering fermions off AFM fluctuations, we calculate $T_c$ an show that AFM fluctuations are excluded as the pairing mechanism for d-wave superconductivity in cuprates. We also consider the quantum-critical fluctuations derived microscopically as the fluctuations of the observed loop-current order discovered in the under-doped cuprates. We show that their frequency dependence and the momentum dependence of their matrix-elements to scatter fermions are consistent with the $theta$ and $omega$ dependence of the deduced $(alpha^2 F)_n(omega, theta)$. The pairing kernel $(alpha^2 F)_{p,d}(omega)$ calculated using the experimental values in the Eliashberg equation gives $d-wave$ instability at $T_c$ comparable to the experiments.
One of the puzzling characteristics of the pseudogap phase of high-$T_c$ cuprates is the nodal-antinodal dichotomy. While the nodal quasiparticles have a Fermi liquid behaviour, the antinodal ones show non-Fermi liquid features and an associated pseu
The transition mechanism in high temperature cuprate superconductors is an outstanding puzzle. A previous suggestion on the role of non-linear local lattice instability modes on the microscopic pairing mechanism in high temperature cuprate supercondu
Developing a theory of high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides is one of the outstanding problems in physics. It is a challenge that has defeated theoretical physicists for more than twenty years. Attempts to understand this problem are h
Recent experiments in multiband Fe-based and heavy-fermion superconductors have challenged the long-held dichotomy between simple $s$- and $d$-wave spin-singlet pairing states. Here, we advance several time-reversal-invariant irreducible pairings tha
A term first coined by Mott back in 1968 a `pseudogap is the depletion of the electronic density of states at the Fermi level, and pseudogaps have been observed in many systems. However, since the discovery of the high temperature superconductors (HT
