Abstract
The pathological behaviour of metallic energy bands at the Fermi wave number in the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) approximation constitutes an aspect of RHF which is qualitatively incorrect. In the present paper we show in direct space within the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) formalism that this feature is not restricted to the uppermost partially filled band. The derivative of the orbital energy with respect to the wave number at the Fermi wave number is singular for all bands.
