We show that in 2+1 dimensions, this model is equivalent to spin-charge excitations coupled to Z_2 Ising gauge fields and not to a U(1) gauge fields (as in the "t-J" model). As a result a phase of frozen Z_2 gauge fluctuations is possible, giving rise to a spin-charge-separated liquid.122pages, no figuresi; improved contents (david@sci.ccny.cuny.edu)Strongly Correlated ElectronsZ_2 Gauge Theory of Electron Fractionalization in the t,t'-J Modeltext
