Title: Extended Hubbard corrected tight-binding model for rhombohedral few-layer graphene

Abstract: Rhombohedral multilayer graphene (RnG) featuring partially flat bands has emerged as an important platform to probe strong Coulomb correlation effects. Theoretical consideration of local electron-electron interactions are of particular importance for electronic eigenstates with a tendency to spatially localize. We present a method to incorporate mean-field electron-electron interaction corrections in the tight-binding hopping parameters of the band Hamiltonian within the extended Hubbard model that incorporates ab initio estimates of on-site ($U$) and inter-site ($V$) Hubbard interactions for the $\pi$ bands of RnG. Our Coulomb-interaction renormalized band structures feature electron-hole asymmetry, band flatness, band gap, and anti-ferromagnetic ground states in excellent agreement with available experiments for $n \geq 4$. We reinterpret the putative gaps proposed in $n=3$ systems in terms of shifting electron and hole density of states peaks depending on the range of the Coulomb interaction models.
