Abstract
It is shown that the approximate variational calculation of Gutzwiller predicts a metal-insulator transition as the intra-atomic Coulomb interaction is increased for the case of one electron per atom. The susceptibility and effective mass are calculated in the metallic phase and are found to be enhanced by a common factor which diverges at the critical value of the interaction.Keywords
