  Here we study the transport properties of a nickelate compound, namely LaNiO2
using density functional theory (DFT) in conjunction with dynamical mean field
theory (DMFT). An interacting multi-orbital spin-resolved scenario for LaNiO2
yields a metallic ground state with ferromagnetic correlations. The latter
contrasts an antiferromagnetic order reported earlier. The metallic behaviour
persists even at large values of the interaction energies. Further support of
the metallic state is provided by the angular resolved photoemission
spectroscopy (ARPES) data.
