Since the discovery in 1986 of high temperature superconductors by
J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Muller, a considerable progress has been
made and several important scientific problems have emerged. Within
this NATO Advanced Study Institute our intention was to focus
mainly on the controversial topic of the symmetry of the
superconducting gap and given the very short coherence length, the
role of fluctuations. The Institute on 'The Gap Symmetry and
Fluctuations in High- Superconductors' took place in the "Institut
d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese" in Corsica, France, between 1 -
13 September 1997. The 110 participantsfrom 18 countries (yet 30
nationalities) including 23 full time lecturers, have spent two
memorable weeks in this charming Mediterranean resort. All
lecturers were asked to prepare pedagogical papers to clearly
present the central physical idea behind specific model or
experiment. The better understanding of physics of high temperature
superconductivity is certainly needed to guide the development of
applications of these materials in high and weak current devices.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 2004 University of
Miami Workshop on Unconventional Superconductivity. The workshop
was the fourth in a series of successful meetings on High-T
Superconductivity and C related topics, which took place at the
James L. Knight Physics Building on the University of Miami campus
in Coral Gables, Florida, in January 1991, 1995, 1999, and 2004.
The workshop consisted of two consecutive events: 1. NATO Advanced
Research Workshop (ARW) on New Challenges in Superconductivity:
Experimental Advances and Emerging Theories, held on January 11-14,
2004; 2. Symposium on Emerging Mechanisms for High Temperature
Superconductivity (SEMHTS), held on January 15-16, 2004. It is hard
to write a balanced preface to a volume like this one, yet at least
we try to offer the reader a taste of what was happening in this
workshop. There were close to a hundred scientists from around the
world, albeit fewer Russians than we had originally hoped for.
Nevertheless, the workshop was very lively and we trust that this
is demonstrated in this volume. The workshop included high-quality
presentations on state of the art works, yet a key issue, discussed
by many, was how homogeneous the cuprates are. STM data, as well as
other reports, showed that the cuprate superconductors (SC's)
studied were inhomogeneous, especially in the underdoped regime;
while experiments, like ARPES and magnetoresistance have
established the existence of a Fermi Surface (FS), at least above
some doping level, in the cuprates.
