Abstract

We employ the sign-problem-free projector determinant quantum Monte Carlo method to study a microscopic model of SU(NN) fermions with singlet-bond and triplet-current interactions on the square lattice. We find the gapped singlet pxp_x and gapless triplet dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} density wave states in the half-filled N=4N=4 model. Specifically, the triplet dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} density wave order is observed in the weak triplet-current interaction regime. As the triplet-current interaction strength is further increased, our simulations demonstrate a transition to the singlet pxp_x density wave state, accompanied by a gapped mixed-ordered area where the two orders coexist. With increasing singlet-bond interaction strength, the triplet dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-wave order persists up to a critical point after which the singlet pxp_x density wave state is stabilized, while the ground state is disordered in between the two ordered phases. The analytical continuation is then performed to derive the single-particle spectrum. In the spectra of triplet dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} and singlet pxp_x density waves, the anisotropic Dirac cone and the parabolic shape around the Dirac point are observed, respectively. As for the mixed-ordered area, a single-particle gap opens and the velocities remain anisotropic at the Dirac point.
