Description

Since the insulating gap in parent spin antiferromagnet survives under a hole underdoping, it might result in a rise of a metal state with a pocket-like Fermi contour with both conventional and mirror nesting corresponding to the same momentum K = (π, π). The nesting leads to a possibility of singlet orbital antiferromagnetic order whereas the mirror nesting promotes the superconducting pairing with the momentum K. We assume screened Coulomb repulsion to be the dominating pairing interaction in the cuprates resulting in the two-component superconducting order parameter. The relative phase of the parameter can be related to orbital current circulations as it follows from the Ginzburg-Landau phenomenology. The orbital antiferromagnetic state with the insulating gap on the Fermi contour is related to the pseudogap state with enhanced diamagnetic response
