Why not a superfluid solid?

Abstract

The question of whether a Bose solid can have a superfluid fraction in the absence of interstitials, holes or other defects is discussed. An unlikely scenario which may accommodate this possibility is proposed, based on a Hartree-Fock treatment of the quantum solid. It is now believed that this version is correct
