Abstract

Symmetry-based considerations are combined with inputs from available experimental results to make the case that a novel spin-triplet superconductivity triggered by antiferromagnetic fluctuations may be realized in the newly discovered layered cobaltide NaxCoO2·yH2O. In the proposed picture, inaccessible via resonating-valence-bond physics extrapolated from half-filling, the pairing process is similar to that advanced for Sr2RuO4, but enjoys a further advantage coming from the hexagonal structure of the Fermi surface which gives a stronger pairing tendency.
