Abstract

The pseudogap state in underdoped cuprates shows many very anomalous features. Among them are an extended temperature region of pairing fluctuations above the superconducting transition temperature and an unusual giant phonon anomaly in the same temperature and hole density range. A recent theoretical proposal that ascribes these anomalies to the presence of strong phase fluctuations related to a Leggett mode, is summarised.
