Abstract
As a model of the novel superconductor Na x CoO 2 · y H 2 O , we study a triangular Hubbard model with doubly degenerate atomic orbitals, using an optimization variational Monte Carlo method. It is found that when the isolated Fermi surface overlaps the van Hove singularity points, d x 2 - y 2 and d + i d -wave superconducting states, among various pairing symmetries, become stabilized by large Coulomb interactions. The pairing is originating from the interaction-energy gain induced dominantly by the enhancement of antiferromagnetic spin correlations. The possibility of triplet pairing is limited for the present parameterization.
