Abstract
A critical introduction and review is given of theoretical activities connected with the physics of high-temperature superconductors. The topics discussed include: Pairing mechanisms, low-dimensional electron systems with strong correlations, properties of doped and disordered quantum antiferromagnets, model hamiltonians, flux phases, the quantum spin liquid, model wave functions, fractional statistics and superconductivity, theory of anomalous normal state properties.
