Popis: | Dispersionless bands -- \emph{flatbands} -- provide an excellent testbed for novel physical phases due to the fine-tuned character of flatband tight-binding Hamiltonians. The accompanying macroscopic degeneracy makes any perturbation relevant, no matter how small. For short-range hoppings flatbands support compact localized states, which allowed to develop systematic flatband generators in $d=1$ dimension in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 95} 115135 (2017) and Phys. Rev. B {\bf 99} 125129 (2019). Here we extend this generator approach to $d=2$ dimensions. The \emph{shape} of a compact localized state turns into an important additional flatband classifier. This allows us to obtain analytical solutions for classes of $d=2$ flatband networks and to re-classify and re-obtain known ones, such as the checkerboard, kagome, Lieb and Tasaki lattices. Our generator can be straightforwardly generalized to three lattice dimensions as well. 7 pages + appendices, 7 figures |
