Abstract

We study superconductivity in the repulsive Hubbard model on the Shastry–Sutherland lattice, where a spin gap exists at the half-filled insulating phase when spin dimerization is strong. By employing the fluctuation-exchange approximation, we find that superconductivity is not favored around halffilling in spite of the spin gap, while superconductivity is favored around quarter-filling. These results suggest that the Fermi surface nesting is more important than spin dimerization for superconductivity.
