Abstract
We study a model for water with a tunable intramolecular interaction Js, using mean-field theory and off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations. For all Js>~0, the model displays a temperature of maximum density. For a finite intramolecular interaction Js>0, our calculations support the presence of a liquid-liquid phase transition with a possible liquid-liquid critical point for water, likely preempted by inevitable freezing. For J=0, the liquid-liquid critical point disappears at T=0.
