    This document summarizes a single-spin-flip ansatz proposed by Shastry, Krishnamurty and Anderson for examining the stability of the N-electron alpha-spin Nagaoka state against local disturbances like flipping a single spin. The ansatz involves taking an electron from the Fermi level and placing it at the bottom of the 4-spin band with a wave vector q, potentially creating a doubly occupied site. The Gutzwiller projector is then used to optimize the amplitude of double occupation. For a single beta-spin electron in an alpha-spin Fermi sea, expectation values can be evaluated exactly in a relatively straightforward manner by expanding the operator in a Wannier basis.

    Appendix B

    Single-Spin-Flip Ansatz

    Let us start with the N-electron ?-spin Nagaoka state IN), and examine
    whether it is stable against local disturbances, such as the turning over
    of a single spin. Shastry, Krishnamurty and Anderson [359]suggested
    using the following single-spin-flip variational trial state

    An electron is taken from the Fermi level, and placed at the bottom of
    the 4-spin band with wave vector q. The resulting state may contain
    a doubly occupied site. The Gutzwiller projector P serves to optimize
    the amplitude of double occupation.
    The case of a single $-spin electron in an ?-spin Fermi sea is special
    because it allows the exact evaluation of expectation values in a rela-
    tively straightforward manner'. Expanding cLl in Wannier basis, we
    find

    'Remember that we resorted to using the Gutzwiller approximation when treating


    the case of a finite ratio N ? / N $ . An exact treatment of this more general problem
    is, in principle, also possible [271] but far too complicated for our purposes.
