Abstract: Fermion sign structure constitutes the foundation of the Landau’s Fermi liquid theory in condensed matter physics. But it will be fundamentally changed by the strong interaction in the so-called doped Mott insulator relevant to high-Tc cuprate materials. New novel sign structure as reduced Fermion signs will appear here, which can be precisely captured by a nonintegrable phase factor like emergent topological gauge fields in the simplest doped Mott insulators: the t-J and Hubbard models. The quantum interference of the altered Fermion signs will result in non-Fermi-liquid/non-BCS-type normal/superconducting phenomena, which may provide a systematical understanding of the anomalous properties observed in cuprate superconductors.
