Abstract
We investigate the bandwidth-controlled Mott transition in the Hubbard model on the checkerboard lattice at half filling using the path-integral renormalization group (PIRG) method. It is demonstrated that the system undergoes a first-order phase transition to the plaquette-singlet insulating phase at a finite Hubbard interaction. This conclusion is drawn via a detailed analysis of the spin and charge correlations around the phase transition point by means of the PIRG method aided with a new iteration scheme introduced in this paper.
