Abstract

It is argued that the unusual “states-non-conserving” fermion density of states, deduced from the specific heat of several families of hole-doped cuprates, points towards interpretations of the pseudogap based on the suppression of a Kondo or heavy fermion-like density of states by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuationa.
