Stripes, non-Fermi-liquid behavior, and high-T-c superconductivity

The electronic structure of the high-T-c cuprates is studied in terms of ''large-U'' and ''small-U'' orbitals. A striped structure and three types of quasiparticles are obtained, polaron-like ''stripons'' carrying charge, ''svivons'' carrying spin, and ''quasielectrons'' carrying both. The anomalous properties are explained, and specifically the behavior of the resistivity, Hall constant, an thermoelectric power. High-temperature superconductivity results from transitions between pair states of quasielectrons and stripons.
