Recent experiments with ultracold Rydberg atoms have shown that the long-range interactions can give rise to spatially ordered structures. It seems that observation of such crystalline phases in a system with Rydberg atoms loaded into optical lattices is also within reach. For such a setup, theoretical studies have predicted a rich phase diagram. In particular, the existence of a series of supersolid and density wave phases with different spatial ordering has been shown for Rydberg atoms in a square lattice. Here we present results of numerical calculations performed for long-range interacting bosons in a triangular lattice. To find the relevant ordering structures, the "frozen"-gas approximation for a deep lattice potential is used. These structures are then investigated using the real-space bosonic dynamical mean-field theory.
