Title: Antiferromagnetism from phase disordering of a d-wave superconductor

Authors: Igor F. Herbut (Simon Fraser University)
Abstract: The unbinding of vortex defects in the superconducting condensate with d-wave symmetry at T=0 is shown to lead to the insulator with incommensurate spin-density-wave order. The transition is similar to the spontaneous generation of the "chiral" mass in the three dimensional quantum electrodynamics, at which the global chiral symmetry one can define in the superconducting state is spontaneously broken. Other symmetry related states and possible relations to recent experiments on uderdoped cuprates are briefly discussed.
