Abstract

Accurate and reliable algorithms to solve complex impurity problems are instrumental to a routine use of quantum embedding methods for material discovery. In this context, we employ an efficient selected configuration interaction impurity solver to investigate the role of bath discretization, specifically, bath size and parameterization, in Hamiltonian-based cluster dynamical mean field theory (CDMFT) for the one- and two-orbital Hubbard models. We consider two- and four-site clusters for the single-orbital model and a two-site cluster for the two-orbital model. Our results demonstrate that, for small bath sizes, the choice of parameterization can significantly influence the solution, highlighting the importance of systematic convergence checks. Comparing different bath parameterizations not only reveals the robustness of a given solution but can also provide insights into the nature of different solutions and potential instabilities of the paramagnetic state. We present an extensive analysis of the zero-temperature Mott transition of the paramagnetic half-filled single-band Hubbard model, benchmarking our findings against previous literature. We find that for the single-band model the dependence on parameterization is weak for the largest bath sizes accessible with ASCI, while a tendency towards a nematic solution can be seen when the bath size is small. Building on this, we extend our study to the multi-band regime, where we present the first systematic analysis at zero temperature for two orbitals and a two-site cluster. This setup allows us to assess the effect of nearest-neighbor dynamical correlations on the multi-orbital Mott transition. In this case, some quantitative dependence on the parameterization is retained for the two-orbital model, for instance in the value of the critical interaction for a Mott transition.

An Exact Conjugation Identity for the Many-Body Wilson Loop Beyond Quantization

Constraints on unquantized many-body holonomies, such as Wilson loops (or their Berry phases), are less explored than those on their quantized counterparts. Here, we realize an unquantized regime by tuning the bond dimerization $δ$ and the staggered potential $Δ$ in a half-filled dimerized staggered Hubbard ring. For the tuned parameter sets, a finite excitation gap persists along the $U(1)$ twist cycle $θ\in[0,2π]$, so that the ground state $|ψ_δ(θ)\rangle$ remains separated from the excited states. The many-body Wilson loop is therefore well defined from the ground-state family $\{|ψ_δ(θ)\rangle;\,θ\in[0,2π]\}$. In this setup, we show an exact many-body Wilson loop conjugation identity, $W(-δ)=W(δ)^*$, accumulated along a cycle parametrized by $θ$. Importantly, the identity persists in regimes where the Berry phase $γ\equiv-\arg W$ varies continuously. We demonstrate the identity numerically using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. The identity extends to other models where the flux-threaded ground-state family along the closed $θ$-cycle is mapped to the reversed cycle. Beyond its conceptual content, the identity provides a symmetry-based consistency check for numerical evaluations of Berry phases in interacting systems. It also justifies the signal-to-noise ratio improvement in Monte Carlo simulations by performing simulations at both $δ$ and $-δ$ and averaging $W(δ)$ with $W(-δ)^{*}$.

Torus Berry Data Determine All-Genus Abelian Topological Orders

We show that for Abelian Chern-Simons topological orders, torus Berry matrices determine the all-genus extended TQFT. We identify the topological part of the projective Berry holonomy under metric deformations with the mapping-class-group representation of the Abelian Chern-Simons TQFT and prove that the normalized torus data reconstruct its finite quadratic module (G,q). Recent work showed that (G,q) classifies the extended theory up to symmetric monoidal natural isomorphism, and that the associated Abelian defect extension is determined by the pointed modular category C(G,q) arising from the same finite quadratic-module data. Therefore genus-one Berry data determine not only the all-genus bulk theory but also its associated defect structures without choosing a K-matrix presentation. We also prove that, for normalized character row errors $δ$<21.96%, nearest-row decoding recovers the Abelian fusion algebra independently of the number of anyons. The result applies to Abelian fractional quantum Hall and spin-liquid phases described by even-lattice Chern-Simons theories.

Accidental accuracy and vertex corrections in $GW$: Exact benchmarks for the extended Hubbard model

The $GW$ approximation is the standard tool for quasiparticle predictions in materials, yet its regime of validity in correlated systems remains poorly quantified, because \textit{ab initio} vertex corrections are computationally prohibitive. Using exact diagonalization of the half-filled extended Hubbard model on finite rings as a numerically exact reference, we construct the corresponding model-space $GW$ theory on the identical Hilbert space and quantify its error as a function of local ($U$) and non-local ($V$) interaction strength. We find that the required vertex correction changes character across the phase diagram: in the weak-coupling regime the effective vertex $Γ_{\rm eff} < 1$, reflecting the suppression of RPA charge fluctuations by exact short-range correlations, whereas in the Mott regime $Γ_{\rm eff}$ grows monotonically (to $\sim 3$ at $U=8t$ for $N=6$), reflecting the local dynamical self-energy structure required to open the Hubbard gap. Vertex corrections in the electron-hole (polarizability) channel are shown to \emph{worsen} the gap error, indicating that reproducing the Mott gap requires dynamical self-energy structure rather than improved screening. For $V=0$, static COHSEX is accidentally exact at a single crossover $U^* \approx 3.5\,t$; finite $V$, through non-local Fock exchange, splits this point into a double-crossover window that collapses toward weak coupling. Even at the crossover, however, the exact spectral function retains Hubbard-band structure that no static functional reproduces, so gap agreement does not imply functional accuracy. These results yield quantitative diagnostics for the reliability of $GW$ in correlated materials.
