The instability of the fully polarized ferromagnetic state (Nagaoka state) with respect to single spin flips is re‐examined for the Hubbard model on the square lattice with a large family of variational wave functions which include correlation effects of the majority spins in the vicinity of the flipped spin. We find a critical hole density of δ cr = 0.251 for U = ∞ and a critical coupling of U cr = 77.7 t . Both values improve previous variational results considerably.
