Abstract

Bulk TiSe2 is an intrinsically layered transition metal dichalcogenide hosting both superconducting and charge-density-wave ordering. Motivated by the recent progress in preparing two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, we study these frustrated orderings in a single trilayer of TiSe2. Using a renormalization group approach, we find that electronic correlations can give rise to charge-density-wave order and two kinds of superconductivity. One possible superconducting state corresponds to unconventional s+- pairing. The other is particularly exciting as it is chiral, breaking time-reversal symmetry. Its stability depends on the precise strength and screening of the electron-electron interactions in two-dimensional TiSe2.
