Electron correlation effects in the presence of non-symmetry dictated nodes

We numerically study the effect of non-symmetry dictated nodes (NSDN) on electron correlation effects for spinless electrons. We find that repulsive interaction between electrons can enhance the overlap between nearest neighbors in the tight binding Hamiltonian, in the presence of NSDN. Normally, in the absence of NSDN, attractive interaction between electrons give such an effect and repulsive interaction gives the opposite effect.
