Motivated by the recent experimental discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelate Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 [Li et al., Nature 572, 624 (2019)], we study how correlated Ni 3dx2-y2 electrons NiO2 layer interact with Nd layer. We show that three orbitals are necessary to represent electronic structure around Fermi level: 3dx2-y2, 5d3z2-r2, and a bonding orbital made from an interstitial s 5dxy orbital. By constructing three-orbital model for these states, find hybridization between state...
