2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/23796Based on an effective Lagrangian obtained from the holon-pair boson theory of Lee and Salk [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, 052501 (2001)] for high $T_c$ cuprates, we explore physical states involved with quantum phase transitions around a critical hole doping of $d-wave$ superconductivity. We find a new quantum phase transition, a confinement to deconfinement transition for internal gauge charge in the superconducting phase. An antiferro- to para- magnetic transition in the superconducting state is explained in the context of the confinement to deconfinement transition. We obtain effective field theories in each region associated with the phase transitions.5 pages, 2 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsSuperconductivityQuantum phase transitions in $d-wave$ superconductorstext
