Hole doped cuprates show a superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ which follows an universal dome-shaped behavior as function of doping. It is believed that the origin of superconductivity in cuprates is entangled with the physics of the pseudogap phase. An open discussion is whether the source of superconductivity is the same that causes the pseudogap properties. The $t$-$J$ model treated in large-N expansion shows $d$-wave superconductivity triggered by non-retarded interactions, and an instability of the paramagnetic state to a flux phase or $d$-wave charge density wave ($d$-CDW) state. In this paper we show that self-energy effects near $d$-CDW instability may lead to a dome-shaped behavior of $T_c$. In addition, it is also shown that these self-energy contributions may describe several properties observed in the pseudogap phase. In this picture, although fluctuations responsible for the pseudogap properties leads to a dome-shaped behavior, they are not involved in pairing which is mainly non-retarded.

We report characterization results by energy dispersive x-ray analysis and AC-susceptibility for a statistically relevant number of single layer Bi-cuprate single crystals. We show that the two structurally quite different modifications of the single
-layered Bi-cuprate, namely (La,Pb=0.4)-Bi2201 and La-Bi2201, exhibit anomalies in the superconducting transition temperature at certain hole doping, e.g. at 1/8 holes per Cu. These doping values agree well with the magic doping fractions found in the temperature dependent resistance of LSCO by Komiya et al. This new set of findings suggests that all these anomalies are generic for the hole-doped high-temperature superconductors.
The specific heat of the superconducting cuprates is calculated over the entire phase diagram. A d-wave BCS approach based on the large Fermi surface of Fermi liquid and band structure theory provides a good description of the overdoped region. At un
derdoping it is essential to include the emergence of a second energy scale, the pseudogap and its associated Gutzwiller factor, which accounts for a reduction in the coherent piece of the electronic Greens function due to increased correlations as the Mott insulating state is approached. In agreement with experiment, we find that the slope of the linear in T dependence of the low temperature specific heat rapidly increases above optimum doping while it is nearly constant below optimum. Our theoretical calculations also agree with recent data on Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-rm x}$La$_{rm x}$CuO$_{6+delta}$ for which the normal state is accessed through the application of a large magnetic field. A quantum critical point is located at a doping slightly below optimum.
Using the large-$N$ limit of the $t$-$J$ model and allowing also for phonons and the electron-phonon interaction we study the isotope effect $alpha$ for coupling constants appropriate for YBCO. We find that $alpha$ has a minimum at optimal doping and
increases strongly (slightly) towards the underdoped (overdoped) region. Using values for the electron phonon interaction from the local density approximation we get good agreement for $alpha$ as a function of $T_c$ and doping $delta$ with recent experimental data in YBCO. Our results strongly suggest that the large increase of $alpha$ in the underdoped region is (a) caused by the shift of electronic spectral density from low to high energies associated with a competing phase (in our case a charge density wave) and the formation of a gap, and (b) compatible with the small electron phonon coupling constants obtained from the local density approximation. We propose a similar explanation for the anomalous behavior of $alpha$ in Sr doped La$_2$CuO$_4$ near the doping 1/8.
We express the superconducting gap, $Delta(T)$, in terms of thermodynamic functions in both $s$- and d-wave symmetries. Applying to Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ and Y$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-delta}$ we find that for all dopings $Delta
(T)$ persists, as a partial gap, high above $T_c$ due to strong superconducting fluctuations. Therefore in general two gaps are present above $T_c$, the superconducting gap and the pseudogap, effectively reconciling two highly polarized views concerning pseudogap physics.
Two principles govern the critical temperature for superconducting transitions: (1)~intrinsic strength of the pair coupling and (2)~effect of the many-body environment on the efficiency of that coupling. Most discussions take into account only the fi
rst but we argue that the properties of unconventional superconductors are governed more often by the second, through dynamical symmetry relating normal and superconducting states. Differentiating these effects is essential to charting a path to the highest-temperature superconductors.
