Improved stability regions for ground states of the extended Hubbard   model
  The ground state phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model containing nearest and next-to-nearest neighbor interactions is investigated in the thermodynamic limit using an exact method. It is found that taking into account local correlations and adding next-to-nearest neighbor interactions both have significant effects on the position of the phase boundaries. Improved stability domains for the $\eta$-pairing state and for the fully saturated ferromagnetic state at half filling have been constructed. The results show that these states are the ground states for model Hamiltonians with realistic values of the interaction parameters.
