% DISCUSSION OF UMP RIEMANN SURFACES
The convergence of the UMP as a function of the ratio $U/t$ is shown in Fig.~\ref{subfig:UMP_cvg} for two specific values: the first ($U = 3t$) is well within the RMP convergence region, while the second ($U = 7t$) falls outside.
Note that in the case of UMP, there are now two pairs of EPs as the open-shell singlet now couples strongly with both the ground and doubly-excited states.
This has the clear tendency to move away from the origin the EP dictating the convergence of the ground-state energy, while deteriorating the convergence properties of the excited-state energy.
For $U = 3t$ (see Fig.~\ref{subfig:UMP_3}), the ground-state energy is remarkably flat since the UHF energy is already a pretty good estimate of the exact energy thanks to the symmetry-breaking process.
Most of the UMP expansion is actually correcting the spin-contamination in the wave function.
For $U = 7t$ (see Fig.~\ref{subfig:UMP_7}), we are well towards the strong correlation regime, where we see that the UMP series is slowly convergent while RMP diverges.
We see a single EP on the ground-state surface which falls just outside (maybe on?) the radius of convergence.
An EP this close to the radius of convergence gives an increasingly slow convergence of the UMP series, but it will converge eventually as observed in Fig.~\ref{subfig:UMP_cvg}.
\hugh{%
The convergence behaviour can be further elucidated by considering the full structure of the UMP energies
in the complex $\lambda$-plane.
These Riemann surfaces are illustrated for $U = 3t$ and $7t$ alongside the perturbation terms at each order
in Fig.~\ref{subfig:UMP_cvg}.
At $U = 3t$, the RMP series is convergent, while RMP becomes divergent for $U=7t$.
The UMP expansion is convergent in both cases, although the rate of convergence is significantly slower
for larger $U/t$ as the radius of convergence becomes increasingly close to 1 (Fig.~\ref{fig:RadConv}).

% EFFECT OF SYMMETRY BREAKING
\hugh{%
Allowing the UHF orbitals to break the molecular symmetry introduces new couplings between electronic states
and fundamentally changes the structure of the EPs in the complex $\lambda$-plane.
For example, while the RMP energy shows only one EP between the ground state and
the doubly-excited state (Fig.~\ref{fig:RMP}), the UMP energy has two EPs: one connecting the ground state with the
and first-excited open-shell singlet, and the other connecting the open-shell singlet state to the
doubly-excited second exciation (Fig.~\ref{fig:UMP}).
While this symmetry-breaking makes the ground-state UMP series convergent by moving the corresponding
EP outside the radius of convergence, this process also moves the excited-state EP within the radius of convergence
and thus causes a deterioration in the convergence of the excited-state UMP series.
Furthermore, since the UHF ground-state energy is already an improved approximation of the exact energy, the ground-state
UMP energy surface is relatively flat and the majority of the UMP expansion is concerned with removing
spin-contamination from the wave function.

%We can therefore say that the use of a symmetry-broken UHF wave function can retain a convergent ground-state perturbation series
%at the expense of a divergent excited-state perturbation series. (Note: the orbitals are not optimised for excited-state here).
