    The chapter discusses two important features of the correlated metallic state that can be discovered using the variational method from Chapter 9: 1) The reduction in the size of the step-like discontinuity in the band state occupation number at the Fermi level, referred to as the reduced Fermi step. 2) The correlation enhancement of the effective mass of electrons which is closely related to the reduced Fermi step. The chapter then goes on to consider the renormalization factor of the kinetic energy and provides an equation for calculating it using the cluster method from the previous chapter.

    The Correlated Metallic


    State

    The variational method introduced in Chapter 9 is admittedly a very


    approximate way to describe the ground state of the Hubbard model.
    However, it offers us a nice pictorial way of thinking about local cor-
    relation effects. Besides, it allows an easy access to discovering two
    important features of the correlated metallic state: the reduction of the
    size of the step-like discontinuity in the band state occupation number,
    and the closely related correlation enhancement of the effective mass.

    10.1 The Reduced Fermi Step


    It is instructive to consider the renormalization factor of the kinetic
    (band) energy
    (10.1)

    For a paramagnetic state, q does not depend on the spin. Our cluster
    method (cf. (9.37), (9.43), and (9.45)) gives
