As the on-site repulsion is increased from 0, the HF approximation reaches a critical value at $U=2t$ where a symmetry-broken
UHF solution appears with a lower energy than the RHF one.
This critical point is analogous to the infamous Coulson--Fischer point identified in the hydrogen dimer.\cite{Coulson_1949}

% COMPLEX ADIABATIC CONNECTION
\titou{In a recent paper, \cite{Burton_2019} using holomorphic Hartree-Fock (h-HF) \cite{Hiscock_2014,Burton_2018,Burton_2016} as an analytic continuation of conventional HF theory, we have demonstrated, on a simple model, that one can interconvert states of different symmetries and natures by following well-defined contours in the complex $\lambda$-plane, where $\lambda$ is the strength of the electron-electron interaction (see Fig.~\ref{fig:iAC}).
In particular, by slowly varying $\lambda$ in a similar (yet different) manner to an adiabatic connection in density-functional theory, \cite{Langreth_1975,Gunnarsson_1976,Zhang_2004} one can ``morph'' a ground-state wave function into an excited-state wave function via a stationary path of HF solutions. \cite{Seidl_2018}
In such a way, we could obtain a doubly-excited state wave function starting from the ground state wave function, a process which is not as easy as one might think. \cite{Gilbert_2008,Thom_2008,Shea_2018}
One of the fundamental discovery we made was that Coulson-Fisher points (where multiple symmetry-broken solutions coalesce) play a central role and can be classified as \textit{quasi}-exceptional points, as the wave functions do not become self-orthogonal.
The findings reported in Ref.~\onlinecite{Burton_2019} represent the very first study of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics for the exploration of multiple solutions at the HF level.
It perfectly illustrates the deeper topology of electronic states revealed using a complex-scaled electron-electron interaction.
Through the introduction of non-Hermiticity, we have provided a more general framework in which the complex and diverse characteristics of multiple solutions can be explored and understood.}
\hugh{We have recently shown that the complex scaled Fock operator Eq.~\eqref{eq:scaled_fock}
also allows states of different symmetries to be interconverted by following a well-defined
contour in the complex $\lambda$-plane.\cite{Burton_2019}
In particular, by slowly varying $\lambda$ in a similar (yet different) manner
to an adiabatic connection in density-functional theory,\cite{Langreth_1975,Gunnarsson_1976,Zhang_2004}
a ground-state wave function can be ``morphed'' into an excited-state wave function
via a stationary path of HF solutions.
This novel approach to identifying excited-state wave functions demonstrates the fundamental
role of quasi-EPs in determining the behaviour of the HF approximation.}
