“…Sufficiently accurate DMRG results for these energies can only be obtained for system sizes of up to L = 64, small compared to the ones studied for OBC's, but nevertheless much larger than the ones that can be reached with exact diagonalization. 11,12,13,14 We show results for PBC's for systems with L = 12, 16, 24, 32, and 64, i.e., system sizes with 4n sites, so that the site-inversion symmetry of the ground state is guaranteed to change sign with U , as discussed in Sec. I B.…”
