Popis: Charge ordering is often found in the phase diagram of unconventional superconductors in close proximity to the superconducting state. This has led to the suggestion that fluctuations of charge order can mediate superconducting pairing. While several mechanisms can lead to charge order, one common mechanism is the long-range Coulomb interaction, resulting in a Wigner crystal charge ordered state. We investigate using exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group the properties of superconducting pair-pair correlations near a Wigner crystal as a function of $V$, the nearest neighbor Coulomb interaction. We consider several different lattice boundary conditions for an electron density of 0.5 per site, the quarter-filled band. Our results show that the strength of pairing decreases with $V$ and remains weaker than the tendency of pairing for non-interacting electrons.
