Superfluid-insulator transition of bosons at generic filling fraction f
The transition is characterized by multiple distinct order parameters (boson condensate, VBS/CDW order)
Traditional (Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson) view:Such a transition is first order, and there are no precursor fluctuations of the order of the insulator in the superfluid.

Superfluid-insulator transition of bosons at generic filling fraction f
The transition is characterized by multiple distinct order parameters (boson condensate, VBS/CDW order)
Traditional (Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson) view:Such a transition is first order, and there are no precursor fluctuations of the order of the insulator in the superfluid.
Recent theories: Quantum interference effects can render such transitions second order, and the superfluid does contain VBS/CDW fluctuations.

Many experiments on the cuprate superconductors show:
• Tendency to produce modulations in spin singlet observables at wavevectors (2/a)(1/4,0) and (2/a)(0,1/4).
• Proximity to a Mott insulator at hole density =1/8 with long-range charge modulations at wavevectors (2/a)(1/4,0) and (2/a)(0,1/4).

Many experiments on the cuprate superconductors show:
• Tendency to produce modulations in spin singlet observables at wavevectors (2/a)(1/4,0) and (2/a)(0,1/4).
• Proximity to a Mott insulator at hole density =1/8 with long-range charge modulations at wavevectors (2/a)(1/4,0) and (2/a)(0,1/4).

Main claims:
• There are precursor fluctuations of VBS order in the superfluid.
• There fluctuations are intimately tied to the quantum theory of vortices in the superfluid

Bosons at filling fraction f
• At f=1, the “magnetic” flux per unit cell is 2, and the vortex does not pick up any phase from the boson density.
• The effective dual “magnetic” field acting on the vortex is zero, and the corresponding component of the Magnus force vanishes.

Superfluids near Mott insulators
• Vortices with flux h/(2e) come in multiple (usually q) “flavors”
• The lattice space group acts in a projective representation on the vortex flavor space.
• These flavor quantum numbers provide a distinction between superfluids: they constitute a “quantum order”
• Any pinned vortex must chose an orientation in flavor space. This necessarily leads to modulations in the local density of states over the spatial region where the vortex executes its quantum zero point motion.

The Mott insulator has average Cooper pair density, f = p/q per site, while the density of the superfluid is close (but need
not be identical) to this value
