Band theory and Mott insulators: Hubbard U instead of Stoner I.

TL;DR: A form for the exchange-correlation potential in local-density band theory, appropriate for Mott insulators, and finds that all late-3d-transition-metal monoxides, as well as the parent compounds of the high-${\mathit{T}$ compounds, are large-gap magnetic insulators of the charge-transfer type.
