Title: A Real Space View of The High Temperature Superconductivity Problem

Abstract: The problem of high temperature superconductivity in the cuprate compounds, along with problems in many other strongly correlated and frustrated systems, has been in search for a renormalization scheme which could connect an accepted microscopic model to a low energy effective Hamiltonian. This would provide a solid route to explaining the unusual phenomenology of cuprate phases. Such a scheme, called CORE, has been recently implemented for the cuprates, with very promising results. Further uses of CORE are rapidly gaining ground.
