Angle-resolved photoemission spectra in the cuprates from the<i>d</i>-density wave theory
Angle-resolved photoemission spectra present two challenges for the d-density wave theory of the pseudogap state of the cuprates: (1) Hole pockets near $(\ensuremath{\pi}/2,\ensuremath{\pi}/2)$ are not observed, in apparent contradiction with the assumption of translational symmetry breaking, and (2) There are no well-defined quasiparticles at the antinodal points, in contradiction with …
