Electronic structure of the manganese oxide solid is studied by the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. The trial wavefunctions are built using orbitals from unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory, and the electron-electron correlation is recovered by the fixed-node QMC. The correlation effects are significant and QMC estimations of the gap and cohesion show a very good agreement with experiment. Comparison with hybrid functional results points out the importance of the exact exchange for improvement of the Density Functional description of transition metal oxide systems.
