Closed-shell molecules often dissociate into open-shell
fragments. To get reliable atomization energies, it is important to
have a theory which is of comparable quality for open- and
closed-shell systems. A good test is to check that all the components
closed-shell systems. A good check is to make sure that all the components
of a spin multiplet are degenerate, as expected from exact solutions.
FCI wave functions have this property and yield degenerate energies with

Again, when pseudopotentials are employed, this tiny error is transferred
to the FN-DMC energy unless the DLA is enforced.
The context is rather different within DFT.
The context is rather different within KS-DFT.
Indeed, mainstream density functionals have distinct functional forms to take
into account correlation effects of same-spin and opposite-spin electron pairs.
Therefore, KS determinants corresponding to different values of $m_s$ lead to different total energies.

Although the energy obtained with $m_s=0$ is higher than the one obtained with $m_s=1$, the
bias is relatively small, \ie, more than one order of magnitude smaller
than the energy gained by reducing the fixed-node error going from the single
determinant to the FCI trial wave function. The largest bias, close to
determinant to the FCI trial wave function. The largest spin-invariance error, close to
$2$ m\hartree{}, is obtained for $\mu=0$, but this bias decreases quickly
below $1$ m\hartree{} when $\mu$ increases. As expected, with $\mu=\infty$
we observe a perfect spin-invariance of the energy (within the error bars), and the bias is not
noticeable for $\mu=5$~bohr$^{-1}$.
