30. In the presence of a magnetic field, a different choice of spectral representation, based on using the reduced density matrices of clusters (Formula presented), is required, see W. Hofstetter, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1508 (2000).

32. The precise form of the weighting function turns out to be unimportant for the final result, e.g., the form of the spectral function; the idea is here to reduce the weight of those (Formula presented) peaks that are at the edges of the spectrum of each cluster.

42. The hopping matrix elements (Formula presented) in Eq. (10) are assumed to be chosen in such a way that antiferromagnetic long-range order is suppressed completely.6

44. Although the term insulator is only strictly defined for (Formula presented), we denote a solution as insulating if it shows well separated upper and lower Hubbard peaks with only a small spectral weight at the Fermi level.
