Recent observation of a "kink" in single-particle dispersion in photoemission experiments on cuprate superconductors has initiated a heated debate over the issue of a boson that mediates the pairing in cuprates. If the "kink" is indeed caused by interaction with a bosonic excitation, then there are two possible candidates: phonons and spin fluctuations. Here, the role of anti-ferromagnetic spin fluctuations in shaping the phase diagram of cuprate superconductors will be discussed. By using the local (momentum-integrated) dynamic spin susceptibility, recently measured in neutron scattering experiments to high energies, the electronic self-energies are calculated that agree in many aspects with those measured directly in angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) and optical spectroscopies. The spin fluctuations therefore seem to play a role typically played by phonons in renormalizing single particles. The key question emerging from this picture is whether the coupling detected in ARPES reflects the mediating boson, i.e. whether the spin fluctuations may be responsible for superconducting pairing.
