We report on the development of many-body density functional tight binding (DFTB) models for carbon, which include either explicit or implicit calculation of multi-center terms in the Hamiltonian. Here, we show that all of our methods yield accurate eigenstates and eigenfunctions for both ambient diamond and transitions to molten, metallic states. We then determine a three-body repulsive energy to compute accurate equation of state and structural properties for carbon under these conditions. Our results indicate a straightforward approach by which many-body effects can be included in DFTB, thus extending the method to a wide variety of systems and thermodynamic conditions.
