Our aim is to study the t−J model on a triangular lattice, employing the Sp(2N) large-N mean-field theory used previously [1,2] for the square-lattice geometry.

Our calculations show that for low doping a spin-Peierls state is realized in the system, while for high doping s-wave superconductivity occurs. For intermediate doping two different phases with a single-site unit cell appear: For small t/J we find a symmetry-broken phase with links fields |Q₁|=|Q₂|>|Q₃|, whereas for large t/J a “120^o phase” is realized, with Q₁=Q₂ e^{2π i/3} = Q₃ e^{4π i/3}. This is in qualitative agreement with published results of Kumar and Shastry [3] and Ogata [4].
