The Fourier components with respect to time $t_1$ of $iL_0(1, 4; 1', 3) = G(1, 3)G(4, 1')$ reads, dropping the (space/spin)-variables:

i^2 G_2(1,2;1',2') &= \langle N | T {\hat \psi}(1) {\hat \psi}(2) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(2') {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(1') | N \rangle
\end{align*}
where e.g. $1 = (x_1,t_1)$ a space-spin plus time variable, starts with the expansion of the 2-body Green's function $G_2$ and response function $L$ over the complete orthonormalized set $ |N,s \rangle $ of the N-electron excited state with $| N \rangle = | N,0 \rangle$ the ground-state. In the optical limit of instantaneous electron-hole creation and destruction, imposing
$t_{2'} = t_2^+$ and $t_{1'} = t_1^+$, one obtains:
\begin{align*}
iL(1,2;1',2') &= \theta(\tau_{12}) \sum_{s > 0} \chi_s(x_1,x_{1'}) {\tilde \chi}_s(x_2,x_{2'})
e^{ +i \Oms \tau_{12} } \\
&- \theta(-\tau_{12}) \sum_{s > 0} \chi_s(x_2,x_{2'}) {\tilde \chi}_s(x_1,x_{1'})
e^{ - i \Oms \tau_{12} }
\end{align*}
with $\tau_{12} = t_1 - t_2$ and
\begin{align*}
\chi_s(x_1,x_{1'}) = \langle N | T {\hat \psi}(x_1) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(x_{1'}) | N,s \rangle \\
{\tilde \chi}_s(x_2,x_{2'}) = \langle N,s | T {\hat \psi}(x_2) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(x_{2'}) | N \rangle
\end{align*}
The $\Oms$ are the neutral excitation energies of interest. Picking up the $e^{+i \Oms t_2 }$ component and simplifying by ${\tilde \chi}_s(x_2,x_{2'})
e^{ i \Oms t_{2} }$ on both side of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, we are left with the search of the $e^{-i \Oms t_1 }$ Fourier component associated with the right-hand side of the BSE. For the lowest $\Oms$ excitation energies falling in the quasiparticle gap of the system, the $L_0(1,2;1',2')$ term cannot contribute since its lowest excitation energy is precisely the quasiparticle gap, namely the difference between the electronic affinity and the ionisation potential.
The Fourier components with respect to time $t_1$ of $iL_0(1, 4; 1', 3) = G(1, 3)G(4, 1')$ reads, dropping the (space/spin)-variables:

We further obtain the spectral representation of
with $\tau = \tau_{34}$. Adopting now the $GW$ approximation for the exchange-correlation self-energy leads to a simplification of the BSE kernel:
$$
\Xi(3,5;4,6) = v(3,6) \delta(34) \delta(56) - W(3^+,4) \delta(36) \delta(45)

We further obtain the needed spectral representation of
$\langle N | T {\hat \psi}(3) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(4) | N,s \rangle$
expanding the field operators over a complete orbital basis creation/destruction operators:
\begin{align*}
\langle N | T {\hat \psi}(3) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(4) & | N,s \rangle = - \Big( e^{ -i \Omega_s t^{34} } \Big) \sum_{mn} \phi_m(x_3) \phi_n^*(x_4) \langle N | {\hat a}_n^{\dagger} {\hat a}_m | N,s \rangle \times \nonumber \\

with $\tau = \tau_{34}$ and where the $ \lbrace \varepsilon_{n/m} \rbrace$ are proper addition/removal energies such that e.g.
$$
e^{ i H \tau } {\hat a}_m^{\dagger} | N \rangle = e^{ i (E_0^N + \varepsilon_m ) \tau } {\hat a} _m^{\dagger} | N \rangle
$$
Selecting (n,m)=(j,b) yields the largest components
The $GW$ quasiparticle energies $ \varepsilon_{n/m}^{GW}$ are good approximations to such removal/addition energies. Selecting (n,m)=(j,b) yields the largest components
$A_{jb}^{s} = \langle N | {\hat a}_j^{\dagger} {\hat a}_b | N,s \rangle $, while (n,m)=(b,j) yields much weaker
$B_{jb}^{s} = \langle N | {\hat a}_b^{\dagger} {\hat a}_j | N,s \rangle $ contributions. We used chemist notations with (i,j) indexing occupied orbitals and (a,b) virtual ones. Neglecting the $B_{jb}^{s}$ leads to the Tamm Dancoff approximation (TDA).

This leads to reduced electron-hole screening, namely larger electron-hole stabilising binding energy, as compared to the standard adiabatic BSE, leading to smaller (blue-shifted) excitation energies. }
