✦ Synopsis

I shall argue that the high T c problem is the problem of doping into a Mott insulator. Furthermore, the well documented pseudo-gap phenomenon in underdoped cuprates holds the key to understanding this physics. Phase fluctuation alone cannot explain this phenomenon, but there is a clear need to identify a competing state which lives in the vortex core. The staggered flux state is a good candidate for the competing state and experimental tests of these ideas will be discussed.

## Recent angle resolved photoemission experiments by Kanigel et al., [Nature Physics 2 (2006) 447] show that the low energy electronic excitations in the normal state of underdoped cuprate superconductors exist on open Fermi arcs which shrink upon cooling, and appear to extrapolate to nodal poin
