Abstract
Various models of high-temperature superconductivity, including in particular the models with particles obeying fractional statistics (anyons), imply spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry. Experiments which might show manifestations of this broken symmetry include muon spin relaxation, and optical experiments looking for an antisymmetric contribution to the dielectric tensor. The current experimental situation is very confusing, however, as results from different groups are seemingly contradictory.
