Abstract We investigate in underdoped cuprates possible coexistence of the superconducting order at zero momentum and pair density wave (PDW) at momentum ${\boldsymbol Q}=(\pi, \pi)$ in the presence of a Néel order. By symmetry, the d-wave uniform singlet pairing $dS_0$ can coexist with the d-wave triplet PDW $dT_{\boldsymbol Q}$, and the p-wave singlet PDW $pS_{\boldsymbol Q}$ can coexist with the p-wave uniform triplet $pT_0$. At half filling, we find that the novel $pS_{\boldsymbol Q}+pT_0$ state is energetically more favorable than the $dS_0+dT_{\boldsymbol Q}$ state. At finite doping, however, the $dS_0+dT_{\boldsymbol Q}$ state is more favorable. In both types of states, the variational triplet parameters $dT_{\boldsymbol Q}$ and $pT_0$ are of secondary significance. Our results point to a fully symmetric $Z_2$ quantum spin liquid with spinon Fermi surface in proximity to the Néel order at zero doping, which may not be adiabatically connected to the d-wave singlet superconductivity at finite doping with intertwining d-wave triplet PDW fluctuations and spin moment fluctuations. The results are obtained by variational quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
