It has been proposed recently [1] that cold polar molecules in an optical lattice can be tuned to a regime of strong three-body interactions. It is therefore an interesting question what kind of quantum phases are stabilized in a system of hardcore bosons interacting via two- and three-body forces. The effects of pure but longer range three-body interactions has been studied on the square lattice giving a cascade of solid and also supersolid phases [2]. The leading two- and three-body term has been investigated in one dimension [3] and on the honeycomb model [4]. Here we are interested in the effects of subleading terms for the one-dimensional case. To this end we use a classical approach, fermionic mean-field theory, and exact diagonalizations in order to map out the zero-temperature phase diagram.
