Abstract
The electron smectic fixed point theory of the stripe phases of doped layered Mott insulators was considered. A smectic metal, an insulating stripe crystal, and a smectic superconductor are the different phases that occur in the presence of a spin gap. The smectic metal is the most stable anisotropic non-Fermi liquid. A more conventional Fermi-liquid phase can be observed in the absence of spin gap.
