Abstract
Reconstruction of the Fermi surface of high-temperature
superconducting cuprates in the pseudogap state is analyzed within nearly
exactly solvable model of the pseudogap state, induced by short-range order
fluctuations of antiferromagnetic (AFM), spin density wave (SDW), or similar
charge density wave (CDW)) order parameter, competing with superconductivity.
We explicitly demonstrate the evolution from "Fermi arcs" (on the
"large" Fermi surface) observed in ARPES experiments at relatively high
temperatures (when both the amplitude and phase of density waves fluctuate
randomly) towards formation of typical "small" electron and hole
"pockets", which are apparently observed in de Haas - van Alfen and Hall
resistance oscillation experiments at low temperatures (when only the phase
of density waves fluctuate, and correlation length of the short-range order
is large enough). A qualitative criterion for quantum oscillations in high
magnetic fields to be observable in the pseudogap state is formulated in
terms of cyclotron frequency, correlation length of fluctuations and Fermi
velocity.
