Abstract

We study the electronic phases of the kagome Hubbard model (KHM) in the weak coupling limit around van Hove filling. Through an analytic renormalization group analysis, we find that there exists a sublattice interference mechanism where the kagome sublattice structure affects the character of the Fermi surface instabilities. It leads to major suppression of Tc for d+id superconductivity in the KHM and causes an anomalous increase of Tc upon addition of longer-range Hubbard interactions. We conjecture that the suppression of conventional Fermi liquid instabilities makes the KHM a prototype candidate for hosting exotic electronic states of matter at intermediate coupling.
