 | | SO(8) Theory of Van Hove -- Jahn-Teller Effects in the Cuprates |
 | | We have recently introduced the SO(8) spectrum-generating algebra of the Van Hove scenario, in order to discuss the competition of charge and magnetic degrees of freedom with superconductivity, leading to the formation of striped phases. |
 | | The algebra contains a triplet of operators which we have designated as 'isospin', which are responsible for generating charge-density wave instabilities. |
