Abstract

We use a renormalized mean field theory to study the Gutzwiller projected BCS states of the extended Hubbard model in the large UU limit, or the tt-tt'-JJ-JJ' model on a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice. At small t/tt'/t, the frustration due to the diagonal terms of tt' and JJ' does not alter the dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-wave pairing symmetry, and the negative (positive) t/tt'/t enhances (suppresses) the pairing order parameter. At large t/tt'/t, the ground state has an extended s-wave symmetry. At the intermediate t/tt'/t, the ground state is d+idd+id or d+isd+is-wave with time reversal symmetry broken.
