To model the auto-ionisation in the Hubbard dimer, we need to turn one of the sites into a ghost atom that will act as
a destination for ionised electrons. We do this by considering an asymmetric Hubbard dimer where the "atomic" site
has a negative diagonal term in the one-electron Hamiltonian, representing the nuclear attraction. This term is already
encoded in the Initialisation section such that the core Hamiltonian is

\hughDraft{% % DERIVING BEHAVIOUR OF THE CRITICAL SITE
Now let's think about the physics of the problem... \hugh{%
For the ghost site to truly represent ionised electrons, we need the hopping term to vanish (or become very small). For the ghost site to perfectly represent ionised electrons, the hopping term between the two sites must vanish with $t=0$.
$U$ controls the strength of the HF repulsive potential. A stronger repulsion will encourage the electrons to be forced This limit corresponds to the dissociative regime in the asymmetric Hubbard dimer (see Ref.~\ref{Carrascal_2018}),
away from the "atomic" site at a less negative value of $\lambda$. and the RMP energies become
$\epsilon$ controls the strength of attraction to the atom. A stronger attraction to the nucleus will mean that the electrons
are more tightly bound to the atom and a more negative $\lambda$ will be needed for auto-ionisation.
We therefore expect that the position of the RMP critical point will be controlled by the ratio $\epsilon / U$, with smaller ratios
making ionisation occur closer to $\lambda$ origin, and making the divergence in these cases more likely.
}
\hughDraft{%
Taking the exact case with $t=0$, the RMP energies becomes
\begin{subequations} \begin{subequations}
\begin{align} \begin{align}
E_{-} &= 2U - 2 \epsilon - U \lambda E_{-} &= 2U - 2 \epsilon - U \lambda
\\ \\
E_{\text{S}} &= U - \epsilon - U \lambda E_{\text{S}} &= U - \epsilon - U \lambda
\\ \\
E_{+} &= U \lambda E_{+} &= U \lambda,
\end{align} \end{align}
\end{subequations} \end{subequations}
By comparison with Fig.~\ref{fig:RMP_cp}, the critical point can be identified as by solving $E_{-} = E_{+}$, as shown in Fig.~\ref{subfig:rmp_cp} (dashed lines).
giving The RMP critical point then corresponds to the intersection $E_{-} = E_{+}$, giving the critical $\lambda$ value
\begin{equation} \begin{equation}
\lc = 1 - \epsilon / U. \lc = 1 - \frac{\epsilon}{U}.
\end{equation} \end{equation}
Thus, as expected, the critical point lies on the real axis and moves closer to the origin for larger Clearly the radius of convergence $\rc = \abs{\lc}$ is controlled directly by the ratio $\epsilon / U$,
$U / \epsilon$. with a convergent RMP series occurring for $\epsilon > 2 U$.
The on-site repulsion $U$ controls the strength of the HF potential localised around the ``atomic site'', with a
stronger repulsion encouraging the electrons to be ionised at a less negative value of $\lambda$.
Large $U$ can be physically interpreted as strong electron repulsion effects in electron dense molecules.
In contrast, smaller $\epsilon$ gives a weaker attraction to the atomic site,
representing strong screening of the nuclear attraction by core and valence electrons,
and again a less negative $\lambda$ is required for ionisation to occur.
Both of these factors are common in atoms on the right-hand side of the periodic table, \eg\ \ce{F},
\ce{O}, \ce{Ne}, and thus molecules containing these atoms are often class $\beta$ systems with
a divergent RMP series due to the MP critical point.

\hughDraft{% % EXACT VERSUS APPROXIMATE
The position of the critical point is controlled by the ratio $\epsilon / U$. \hugh{%
If the magnitude of the ratio becomes greater than one, then the series diverges. The critical point in the exact case $t=0$ lies on the real $\lambda$ axis, mirroring the behaviour of a quantum

In the limit $t \rightarrow 0$, these EPs approach the real axis, mirroring Sergeev's discussion on finite basis
\hughDraft{% set representations of the MP critical point.\cite{Sergeev_2006}
In practical calculations, one considers the perturbation energy in a finite basis and the critical point is modelled
as a cluster of branch points close to the real axis. While we cannot change the size of our basis, we can adjust
the extent to which the second site behaves as a ghost by making the hopping term larger.
When $t$ is (slightly) non-zero, our modelled critical point becomes an EP point close to the real axis with a sharp
associated avoided crossing for real $\lambda$. If $t$ becomes larger, this avoided crossing becomes less sharp and the EPs
move away from the real axis. This mirrors the discussion of EPs approaching the real axis in the exact basis.
This effect is shown by the dashed lines in Fig.~\ref{fig:RMP_cp}.
