Description
We use generalized coherent states to analyze the SO(5) theory of high-temperature superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. We demonstrate that the SO(5) symmetry can be embedded in a larger algebra that allows it to be interpreted as a critical dynamical symmetry interpolating between antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases. This dynamical interpretation suggests that SO(5) defines a phase with the character of a spin-glass for a significant range of doping.
