Every published energy

Grouped by what the number is. Ranking happens only inside the first group.

Numerically exact (1)

Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established: the answer, not a claim about it.

Reported as. E = -128.78(3) (total), 14 x 14, U = 6, PBC-APBC

Table IV, "Total ground state energy (E) ... in the Hubbard model at half-filling, for U = 2, 4, 6, 8 ... for both PBC and PBC-APBC. Statistical errors are on the last digit." Row 14 x 14, column U = 6 PBC-APBC. Half filling: N_up = N_dn = 98. Cross-checks: the 8 x 8 PBC values at U = 4 and 8 agree with VarBench's own AFQMC exact rows to 1.3 sigma, and the 8 x 8, 10 x 10 and 12 x 12 PBC U = 8 values with the AFQMC references quoted by arXiv:2507.02644 (Table S1) to the printed digits.
