Abstract

Recent tunneling observations of a pseudogap in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+delta are not necessarily evidence that the pseudogap is associated with superconducting fluctuations. The data are here analyzed as a competition between superconductivity and a density wave (taken as a simplified model for a striped phase).
