abstract = "We study the superconductor to insulator transition at zero
temperature in aJosephson-junction array model on a honeycomb
lattice with f flux quantum perplaquette. The path integral
representation of the model corresponds to a (2 + 1)-dimensional
classical model, which isused to investigate the critical behavior
by extensive Monte Carlo simulations on largesystem sizes. In
contrast to the model on a square lattice, the transition is found
to befirst order for f = 1 /3 and continuous for f = 1 / 2 but in
a different universality class.The correlation-length critical
exponent is estimated from finite-size scaling of
vortexcorrelations. The estimated universal conductivity at the
transition is approximately fourtimes its value for f =0. The
results are compared with experimental observations on
ultrathinsuperconducting films with a triangular lattice of
nanoholes in a transverse magneticfield.",
