To explain the experimental spectra for angle resolved photoemission we consider a modified t-J model. The modified model includes next nearest (t') and next next nearest (t'') hopping as well as Hubbard model corrections to the spectral weights. A Dyson equation which relates the single hole Green's functions for a given pseudospin and given spin is derived and is compared to experimental results.
The discovery by Tranquada et al. of an ordered phase of charged domain walls in the high-Tc cuprates leads us to consider the possible existence of a quantum domain-wall liquid. We propose minimal models for the quantization, by meandering fluctuations, of isolated charged domain walls. These correspond to lattice string models. The simplest model of this kind, a directed lattice string, can be mapped onto a quantum spin chain or on a classical two-dimensional solid-on-solid surface model. The model exhibits a rich phase diagram, containing several rough phases with low-lying excitations as well as ordered phases which are gapped.
