In this Section, we describe the theoretical foundations leading to the dynamical Bethe-Salpeter equation, following the seminal work by Strinati, \cite{Strinati_1988} presenting in a second step the perturbative implementation \cite{Rohlfing_2000,Ma_2009} of the dynamical correction as compared to the standard adiabatic calculations. More details of the derivation are provided in ...
