SUMMARY:Superconductivity and the Pseudogap in theory and in copper-ox
 ide based superconductors\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Andrew Mil
 lis\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In the "high-Tc" copper oxide materials\, superconductivit
 y is believed not to arise from the electron-phonon coupling which cau
 ses superconductivity in conventional materials such as lead or mercur
 y and is believed to be related in some way to the physics of the corr
 elation driven ("Mott") metal insulator transition. In this talk I wil
 l summarize what is known about the underlying physics of the material
 s\, explain why the theoretical problem is (NP) hard and present recen
 t theoretical and computational progress which has led to new insights
  into electronically mediated superconductivity.
