E-mail npa@physics.ucla.edu; preprint also available at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/0303186. Kaminski et al. recently reported the results of an experiment in which they found a small but significant asymmetry ~3% in the photoemission intensity of the high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) below its pseudogap temperature T^* when using light of different helicities. This was interpreted as indicative of a hidden time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking phase in the underdoped regime. However, as there is ample evidence for low temperature structural changes in the underdoped regime of Bi2212, we feel that Kaminski et al. are incorrect to infer the existence of a TRS breaking state from their experiment.

We formulate a variational (Hartree like) description of flux line liquids which improves on the theory we developed in an earlier paper [A.M. Ettouhami, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 65}, 134504 (2002)]. We derive, in particular, how the massive term confining the fluctuations of flux lines varies with temperature and show that this term vanishes at high enough temperatures where the vortices behave as freely fluctuating elastic lines.

Fink's e-mail j.fink@ifw-dresden.de; preprint also available at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/0303422. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is used to study the mass renormalization of the charge carriers in the high-Tc superconductor (Pb,Bi)2Sr2CaCu2O8 in the vicinity of the (\pi,0) point in the superconducting and the normal state. Using matrix element effects at different photon energies and due to a high momentum and energy resolution the bonding and the antibonding bands could be separated in the whole dopant range. A huge anisotropic coupling to a bosonic collective mode is observed below Tc for both bands in particular for the underdoped case. Above Tc, the more isotropic coupling to a continuum or a mode at much higher energy is significantly weaker.
