@article{ISI:000239377500046, abstract = {We analyze the effects of the on-site Coulomb repulsion U on a band insulator using dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). We find the surprising result that the gap is suppressed to zero at a critical U-c1 and remains zero within a metallic phase. At a larger U-c2 there is a second transition from the metal to a Mott insulator, in which the gap increases with increasing U. These results are qualitatively different from Hartree-Fock theory which gives a monotonically decreasing but nonzero insulating gap for all finite U.}, article-number = {046403}, author = {Garg, Arti and Krishnamurthy, H.
