Abstract
We study a model of hard-core bosons with frustrated nearest-neighbor hopping (t) and repulsion (V) on the triangular lattice. We argue for a supersolid ground state in the large repulsion (Vzsentation applies, by constructing a unitary mapping to the well-understood unfrustrated hopping case. This generalized "Marshall sign rule" allows us to establish the precise nature of the supersolid order by utilizing a recently proposed dimer variational wave function, whose correlations can be efficiently calculated using the Grassmann approach. By continuity, a supersolid is predicted over the wide parameter range, V>-2t>0. This also establishes a simple phase diagram for the triangular lattice spin 1/2 XXZ antiferromagnet.
