Abstract

I would like to thank Prof. Maekawa for providing such an apt introduction to my talk. In my remarks today, I shall make the case that the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity is pairing by a “gauge” force, first identified by Halperin [1] to occur in the fractional quantum hall problem, and referred to in 2-dimensional systems as fractional statistics.
