Abstract

We use a renormalized mean-field theory to study the Gutzwiller projected Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer states of the extended Hubbard model in the large U limit or the t−t′−J−J′ model on a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice. At small t′∕t, the frustration due to the diagonal terms of t′ and J′ does not alter the dx2−y2-wave pairing symmetry, and the negative (positive) t′∕t enhances (suppresses) the pairing order parameter. At large t′∕t, the ground state has an s−s wave symmetry. At the intermediate t′∕t, the ground state is d+id or d+is wave with time reversal symmetry broken.
