报告摘要：

In the Landau paradigm for conventional metals, the Fermi statistics is essential to organize the electrons into a Fermi liquid or superconducting condensate. However, in a strongly correlated electron system with opening up a Mott gap, the Hilbert space is fundamentally changed with a new sign structure emerging to replace the Fermi signs. To illustrate the novel consequences, I will discuss the single-hole and two-hole wavefunctions as the simplest possible examples, which can account for all the nontrivial features as measured by exact numerical calculations. The variational numerical results show how the basic physics of a doped Mott insulator is radically changed from what one would expect from a Landau quasiparticle picture or a BCS pairing mechanism. Finite doping case in connection to the high-Tc problem in the cuprate will be also briefly discussed.
