    Unconventional Superconducting Symmetry in a Checkerboard Antiferromagnet

    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-t′t'-JJ-J′J' model on a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice. At small t′/tt'/t, the frustration due to the diagonal terms of t′t' and J′J' does not alter the dx2−y2d_{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.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
