(color online) Properties of the superfluid ground state of the checkerboard lattice systems. (a) The ratio of the order parameters |Φ1|/|Φ−3| as a function of the ratio of the nearest neighbor interaction to the next-nearest neighbor interaction V/U. (b) Bogoliubov quasi-particle spectra as a function of ky in a stripe with periodic (open) boundary condition along the y (x) direction. The parameters are t0 = 10, tz = tx = 20, μ = 2, V/2 = U = 1, and g = 0.95. The width of the stripe along the x direction is Nx = 501 unit cells.
