Abstract
A one-parameter family of models interpolates between the periodic Anderson model with infinite repulsion at half-filling and a model whose ground state is exactly the resonating-valence-bond state. It is shown numerically that the excitation gap does not collapse. Therefore the ground states of the two models are adiabatically connected.
