In the case of the Hamiltonian (4.9) we use Gaussian construction for the
one-body Bijl-Jastrow term
The cut-off length is fixed at
, while the wave vector
is chosen such that the boundary condition at
imposed by the
-function potential is satisfied:
. For
negative
(
) the correlation function, Eq. 2.65, is
positive everywhere. For positive
(
), in contrast,
changes sign at
. The parameterization given by Eq. 2.65 is used
in our stability analysis performed within a VMC framework (see Sec. 4.5)
and in our DMC calculations for
. To perform the FN-DMC calculations for
negative
, we need to construct a trial wave function that is positive
definite everywhere. In the FN-DMC calculations, we thus use an alternative
parameterization, which imposes the constraint
for
,
