Dear Nikita,
I am sorry for the very late reply. This reply may be too late for helping you, but I replied to your questions for your reference.

Please note that this mode is valid only for the itinerant electrons systems.
f_{G(i), G(j)}
should change its sign if G(i)
or G(j)
cross the boundary.
For example, let consider 4-site chain (boundary exsits between site 0 and site 3) and 2 sub-lattice condition.
Under +2 translation,
T_{R=2} f_{0,3}C_{0↑} C_{3↓}
changes as
f_{0,3}C_{2↑}C_{5↓}=f_{0,3}C_{2↑} C_{5↓}=-f_{0,3}C_{2↑} C_{1↓}
[sign change occurs because boundary exists between site 3 and site 5].I hope this answer will be helpful for you.
Best, Takahiro
Dear mVMC developers,
I have a question about how one could employ periodic boundary conditions with a twist. I am interested in (a) general twist, (b) twist \pi (antiperiodic).
In case of (b), there is just a special flag in mVMC, that switches on the APBC mode. I have a question on how to use this mode, namely 1) This would modify the Tij (kineric term elements) that go over the boundary, by multiplying by -1. Should I do it myself when I fill-in the
trans.def
file, or this will be done automatically? 2) how I shall define the variational parameters (say, orbitals), if I use the APBC mode? In the PBC case, I would employ translational invariance, namely, `f{i, j} = f_{G(i), G(j)}where G is translation. Now, I need to introduce two "families" of
f_ij: one for those
f_ij` that connect sites without crossing [in terms of shortest distance] the boundary and other family that goes over the boundary. Within each family I can use translational invariance?Basically, there are several references, for instance https://journals.aps.org/prb/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevB.90.115137, where mVMC was used with APBC. I wonder, how one defines the variational parameters in this case?
Thanks a lot for your help! Best wishes, Nikita
