Recently a line-centered lattice has been proposed and analyzed for cold atoms [1]. A distinguished feature of such a lattice is that its dispersion contains a Dirac cone intersecting with a completely flat band [1]. Here we analyze effects of the atom-atom interaction of the Hubbard type for the line-centered lattice. The lattice is populated by fermionic atoms in two different internal states. We show that there are localized eigen-solutions of the non-interacting Hamiltonian which are preserved by including a sufficiently small atom-atom interaction. The situation resembles to a certain degree the one appearing in the p-band honeycomb lattice in which the interaction takes place between two different atomic p-states [2]. Yet in the present case we are dealing with the s-band of the line-centered lattice, and the interaction takes place between the atoms in different internal states.
