Much of what I have to say in the following (not all) is contained in my Informal History published in 2010 in the Intl Journ of Mod Phys and available as arXiv:1011.2736 [cond-mat]. But because the literature on the subject continues to burgeon, mostly without much if any reference to the fundamentals that I laid out in that article, I think it is time to distribute a summary of the conclusions I reached in that article, as well as a few newer thoughts.

Persistent Fermi Pockets and Robust Electron Pairing in Lightly Doped CuO$_2$ Planes of Cuprate Superconductors
cond-mat.supr-con 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

Inner CuO2 planes in multilayer cuprates show metallic Fermi pockets down to 0.007 doping and robust anisotropic superconducting gaps alongside antiferromagnetic order.
