Abstract

Bulk TiSe2_2 is an intrinsically layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) hosting both superconducting and charge density wave (CDW) ordering. Motivated by the recent progress in preparing two-dimensional TMDs, we study these frustrated orderings in {\it single} trilayer of TiSe2_2 within a renormalization group approach. We establish that a novel state with time-reversal symmetry broken chiral superconductivity can emerge from the strong competition between CDW formation and superconductivity. Its stability depends on the precise strength and screening of the electron-electron interactions in two-dimensional TiSe2_2.
