Extended supersolid phase of frustrated hard-core bosons on a triangular lattice
Abstract
We study a model of hard-core bosons with frustrated nearest-neighbor hopping () and repulsion () on the triangular lattice. We argue for a supersolid ground state in the large repulsion () limit where a dimer representation applies, by constructing a unitary mapping to the well understood unfrustrated hopping case. This generalized 'Marshall sign rule' allows us to establish the precise nature of the supersolid order by utilizing a recently proposed dimer variational wavefunction, whose correlations can be efficiently calculated using the Grassman approach. By continuity, a supersolid is predicted over the wide parameter range, . This also establishes a simple phase diagram for the triangular lattice spin 1/2 XXZ antiferromagnet.
