Exact ground state of strongly correlated electron systems from symmetry-entangled wave-functions
Résumé
The four-site Hubbard model is considered from the exact diagonalisation and variational method points of view. It is shown that the exact ground-state can be recovered by a symmetry projected Slater determinant, irrespective of the interaction strength. This is in contrast to the Gutzwiller wave-function, which is calculated as well.
