Abstract
We study a model of strongly interacting spinless fermions and hard-core bosons on an anisotropic kagome lattice near 2/3-filling. Our main focus lies on the strongly anisotropic case in which the nearest–neighbor repulsions V and V′ are large compared to the hopping amplitudes |t| and |t′|. When t = t′ = 0, the system has a charge ordered insulating ground state where the charges align in striped configurations. Doping one electron or hole into the ground state yields an anisotropic metal at V′ > V, where the particle fractionalizes along the V′-bonds while propagates along the V-bonds in a one–body like manner. The sixth order ring exchange processes around the hexagonal unit of the lattice play a crucial role in forming a bound state of fractional charges.
