%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Theory} \label{sec:theory} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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: \begin{align*} [iL_0]( \omega_1 ) = \frac{ 1 }{ 2\pi } \int d \omega \; G(\omega - \frac{\omega_1}{2} ) G( {\omega} + \frac{\omega_1}{2} ) e^{ i \omega \tau_{34} } e^{ i \omega_1 t^{34} } \end{align*} with $\tau_{34} = t_3 - t_4$ and $t^{34} = (t_3 + t_4)/2$. Plugging now the 1-body Green's function Lehman representation, e.g. $$ G(x_1,x_3 ; \omega) = \sum_n \frac{ \phi_n(x_1) \phi_n^*(x_3) } { \omega - \varepsilon_n + i \eta \text{sgn}(\varepsilon_n - \mu) } $$ and projecting on $\phi_a^*(x_1) \phi_i(x_{1'})$, one obtains the $\omega_1= \Oms$ component \begin{align*} \int dx_1 dx_{1'} \; & \phi_a^*(x_1) \phi_i(x_{1'}) L_0(x_1,3;x_{1'},4; \Oms) = e^{i \Oms t^{34} } \times \\ & \frac{ \phi_a^*(x_3) \phi_i(x_4) } { \Oms - ( \vara - \vari ) + i \eta } \Big( \theta( \tau ) e^{i ( \vari + \hOms) \tau } + \theta( - \tau ) e^{i (\vara - \hOms \tau } \Big) \end{align*} with $\tau = \tau_{34}$. We further obtain the 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 \\ \times & \Big( \theta( \tau ) e^{- i ( \varepsilon_m - \hOms ) \tau } + \theta( -\tau ) e^{ - i ( \varepsilon_n + \hOms) \tau } \Big) \end{align*} 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 $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). Obtaining similarly the spectral representation of $ \langle N | T {\hat \psi}(1) {\hat \psi}^{\dagger}(1') | N,s \rangle$ ($t_{1'} = t_1^{+}$) projected onto $\phi_a^*(x_1) \phi_i(x_{1'})$, one obtains after a few tedious manipulations (see Supplemental Information) the dynamical Bethe-Salpeter equation (DBSE) : \begin{align} ( \varepsilon_a - \varepsilon_i - \Omega_s ) A_{ia}^{s} &+ \sum_{jb} \Big( v_{ai,bj} - \widetilde{W}_{ij,ab}(\Oms) \Big) A_{jb}^{s} \\ &+ \sum_{bj} \Big( v_{ai,jb} - \widetilde{W}_{ib,aj}(\Oms) \Big) B_{jb}^{s} = 0 \end{align} with an effective dynamically screened Coulomb potential (see Pina eq. 24): \begin{align} \widetilde{W}_{ij,ab}(\Oms) &= { i \over 2 \pi} \int d\omega \; e^{-i \omega 0^+ } W_{ij,ab}(\omega) \times \\ \hskip 1cm &\times \left[ \frac{1}{ (\Oms - \omega) - ( \varb - \vari ) +i \eta } + \frac{1}{ (\Oms + \omega) - ( \vara - \varj ) + i\eta } \right] \nonumber \end{align} In the present study, we use the exact spectral representation of $W(\omega)$ at the RPA level: \begin{align*} W_{ij,ab}(\omega) &= (ij|ab) + 2 \sum_m^{OV} [ij|m] [ab|m] \times \\ & \times \Big( \frac{1}{ \omega-\Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } - \frac{1}{ \omega + \Omega_m^{RPA} - i\eta } \Big) \end{align*} so that \begin{align} \widetilde{W}_{ij,ab}( \Oms ) &= (ij|ab) + 2 \sum_m^{OV} [ij|m] [ab|m] \times \\ & \times \left[ \frac{ 1 }{ \Omega_{ib}^{s} - \Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } + \frac{ 1}{ \Omega_{ja}^{s} - \Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } \right] \nonumber \end{align} with e.g. $ \Omega_{ib}^{s} = \Oms - ( \varepsilon_b - \varepsilon_i) $. \textcolor{red}{Due to excitonic effects, the lowest BSE ${\Omega}_1$ excitation energy stands lower than the lowest $\Omega_m^{RPA}$ excitation energy, so that e.g. $( \Omega_{ib}^{s} - \Omega_m^{RPA} )$ is strictly negative and cannot diverge. Further, $\Omega_{ib}^{s}$ and $\Omega_{ja}^{s}$ are necessarily negative for in-gap low lying BSE excitations, such that $$ \left[ \frac{ 1 }{ \Omega_{ib}^{s} - \Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } + \frac{ 1}{ \Omega_{ja}^{s} - \Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } \right] < \Big( \frac{1}{ \omega-\Omega_m^{RPA} + i\eta } - \frac{1}{ \omega + \Omega_m^{RPA} - i\eta } \Big) < 0 $$ in the limit $(\omega \rightarrow 0)$ of the standard adiabatic BSE . WELL, do we know the sign of $[ij|m] [ab|m]$ ?? } \titou{This is the theory section from the previous paper.} In order to compute the neutral (optical) excitations of the system and their associated oscillator strengths, the BSE expresses the two-body propagator \cite{Strinati_1988, Martin_2016} \begin{multline} \label{eq:BSE} \LBSE{}(1,2,1',2') = \LBSE{0}(1,2,1',2') \\ + \int d3 d4 d5 d6 \LBSE{0}(1,4,1',3) \XiBSE{}(3,5,4,6) \LBSE{}(6,2,5,2') \end{multline} as the linear response of the one-body Green's function $\G{}$ with respect to a general non-local external potential \begin{equation} \XiBSE{}(3,5,4,6) = i \fdv{[\vc{\Ha}(3) \delta(3,4) + \Sig{\xc}(3,4)]}{\G{}(6,5)}, \end{equation} which takes into account the self-consistent variation of the Hartree potential \begin{equation} \vc{\Ha}(1) = - i \int d2 \vc{}(2) \G{}(2,2^+), \end{equation} (where $\vc{}$ is the bare Coulomb operator) and the exchange-correlation self-energy $\Sig{\xc}$. In Eq.~\eqref{eq:BSE}, $\LBSE{0}(1,2,1',2') = - i \G{}(1,2')\G{}(2,1')$, and $(1)=(\br{1},\sigma_1,t_1)$ is a composite index gathering space, spin and time variables. In the $GW$ approximation, \cite{Hedin_1965,Aryasetiawan_1998,Onida_2002,Martin_2016,Reining_2017} we have \begin{equation} \SigGW{\xc}(1,2) = i \G{}(1,2) \W{}{}(1^+,2), \end{equation} where $\W{}{}$ is the screened Coulomb operator, and hence the BSE reduces to \begin{equation} \XiBSE{}(3,5,4,6) = \delta(3,4) \delta(5,6) \vc{}(3,6) - \delta(3,6) \delta(4,5) \W{}{}(3,4), \end{equation} where, as commonly done, we have neglected the term $\delta \W{}{}/\delta \G{}$ in the functional derivative of the self-energy. \cite{Hanke_1980,Strinati_1984,Strinati_1982} Finally, the static approximation is enforced, \ie, $\W{}{}(1,2) = \W{}{}(\{\br{1}, \sigma_1, t_1\},\{\br{2}, \sigma_2, t_2\}) \delta(t_1-t_2)$, which corresponds to restricting $\W{}{}$ to its static limit, \ie, $\W{}{}(1,2) = \W{}{}(\{\br{1},\sigma_1\},\{\br{2},\sigma_2\}; \omega=0)$. For a closed-shell system in a finite basis, to compute the singlet BSE excitation energies (within the static approximation) of the physical system (\ie, $\IS = 1$), one must solve the following linear response problem \cite{Casida,Dreuw_2005,Martin_2016} \begin{equation} \label{eq:LR} \begin{pmatrix} \bA{\IS} & \bB{\IS} \\ -\bB{\IS} & -\bA{\IS} \\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} \bX{\IS}_m \\ \bY{\IS}_m \\ \end{pmatrix} = \Om{m}{\IS} \begin{pmatrix} \bX{\IS}_m \\ \bY{\IS}_m \\ \end{pmatrix}, \end{equation} where $\Om{m}{\IS}$ is the $m$th excitation energy with eigenvector $\T{(\bX{\IS}_m \, \bY{\IS}_m)}$ at interaction strength $\IS$, $\T{}$ is the matrix transpose, and we assume real-valued spatial orbitals $\{\MO{p}(\br{})\}_{1 \le p \le \Norb}$. The matrices $\bA{\IS}$, $\bB{\IS}$, $\bX{\IS}$, and $\bY{\IS}$ are all of size $\Nocc \Nvir \times \Nocc \Nvir$ where $\Nocc$ and $\Nvir$ are the number of occupied and virtual orbitals (\ie, $\Norb = \Nocc + \Nvir$ is the total number of spatial orbitals), respectively. In the following, the index $m$ labels the $\Nocc \Nvir$ single excitations, $i$ and $j$ are occupied orbitals, $a$ and $b$ are unoccupied orbitals, while $p$, $q$, $r$, and $s$ indicate arbitrary orbitals. In the absence of instabilities (\ie, when $\bA{\IS} - \bB{\IS}$ is positive-definite), \cite{Dreuw_2005} Eq.~\eqref{eq:LR} is usually transformed into an Hermitian eigenvalue problem of smaller dimension \begin{equation} \label{eq:small-LR} (\bA{\IS} - \bB{\IS})^{1/2} (\bA{\IS} + \bB{\IS}) (\bA{\IS} - \bB{\IS})^{1/2} \bZ{m}{\IS} = (\Om{m}{\IS})^2 \bZ{m}{\IS}, \end{equation} where the excitation amplitudes are \begin{subequations} \begin{align} (\bX{\IS} + \bY{\IS})_m = (\Om{m}{\IS})^{-1/2} (\bA{\IS} - \bB{\IS})^{+1/2} \bZ{m}{\IS}, \\ (\bX{\IS} - \bY{\IS})_m = (\Om{m}{\IS})^{+1/2} (\bA{\IS} - \bB{\IS})^{-1/2} \bZ{m}{\IS}. \end{align} \end{subequations} Introducing the so-called Mulliken notation for the bare two-electron integrals \begin{equation} \ERI{pq}{rs} = \iint \frac{\MO{p}(\br{}) \MO{q}(\br{}) \MO{r}(\br{}') \MO{s}(\br{}')}{\abs*{\br{} - \br{}'}} \dbr{} \dbr{}', \end{equation} and the corresponding (static) screened Coulomb potential matrix elements at coupling strength $\IS$ \begin{equation} \W{pq,rs}{\IS} = \iint \MO{p}(\br{}) \MO{q}(\br{}) \W{}{\IS}(\br{},\br{}') \MO{r}(\br{}') \MO{s}(\br{}') \dbr{} \dbr{}', \end{equation} the BSE matrix elements read \begin{subequations} \begin{align} \label{eq:LR_BSE-A} \ABSE{ia,jb}{\IS} & = \delta_{ij} \delta_{ab} (\eGW{a} - \eGW{i}) + \IS \qty[ 2 \ERI{ia}{jb} - \W{ij,ab}{\IS} ], \\ \label{eq:LR_BSE-B} \BBSE{ia,jb}{\IS} & = \IS \qty[ 2 \ERI{ia}{bj} - \W{ib,aj}{\IS} ], \end{align} \end{subequations} where $\eGW{p}$ are the $GW$ quasiparticle energies. In the standard BSE approach, $\W{}{\IS}$ is built within the direct RPA scheme, \ie, \begin{subequations} \label{eq:wrpa} \begin{align} \W{}{\IS}(\br{},\br{}') & = \int \frac{\epsilon_{\IS}^{-1}(\br{},\br{}''; \omega=0)}{\abs*{\br{}' - \br{}''}} \dbr{}'' , \\ \epsilon_{\IS}(\br{},\br{}'; \omega) & = \delta(\br{}-\br{}') - \IS \int \frac{\chi_{0}(\br{},\br{}''; \omega)}{\abs*{\br{}' - \br{}''}} \dbr{}'' , \end{align} \end{subequations} with $\epsilon_{\IS}$ the dielectric function at coupling constant $\IS$ and $\chi_{0}$ the non-interacting polarizability. In the occupied-to-virtual orbital product basis, the spectral representation of $\W{}{\IS}$ can be written as follows in the case of real spatial orbitals \begin{multline} \label{eq:W} \W{ij,ab}{\IS}(\omega) = \ERI{ij}{ab} + 2 \sum_m^{\Nocc \Nvir} \sERI{ij}{m}{\IS} \sERI{ab}{m}{\IS} \\ \times \qty(\frac{1}{\omega - \OmRPA{m}{\IS} + i \eta} - \frac{1}{\omega + \OmRPA{m}{\IS} - i \eta}), \end{multline} where the spectral weights at coupling strength $\IS$ read \begin{equation} \sERI{pq}{m}{\IS} = \sum_i^{\Nocc} \sum_a^{\Nvir} \ERI{pq}{ia} (\bX{\IS}_m + \bY{\IS}_m)_{ia}. \end{equation} In the case of complex orbitals, we refer the reader to Ref.~\onlinecite{Holzer_2019} for a correct use of complex conjugation in the spectral representation of $\W{}{}$. Note that, in the case of {\GOWO}, the RPA neutral excitations in Eq.~\eqref{eq:W} are computed using the HF orbital energies. In Eq.~\eqref{eq:W}, $\eta$ is a positive infinitesimal, and $\OmRPA{m}{\IS}$ are the direct (\ie, without exchange) RPA neutral excitation energies computed by solving the linear eigenvalue problem \eqref{eq:LR} with the following matrix elements \begin{subequations} \begin{align} \label{eq:LR_RPA-A} \ARPA{ia,jb}{\IS} & = \delta_{ij} \delta_{ab} (\eHF{a} - \eHF{i}) + 2 \IS \ERI{ia}{jb}, \\ \label{eq:LR_RPA-B} \BRPA{ia,jb}{\IS} & = 2 \IS \ERI{ia}{bj}, \end{align} \end{subequations} where $\eHF{p}$ are the Hartree-Fock (HF) orbital energies. The relationship between the BSE formalism and the well-known RPAx (\ie, RPA with exchange) approach can be obtained by switching off the screening so that $\W{}{\IS}$ reduces to the bare Coulomb potential $\vc{}$. In this limit, the $GW$ quasiparticle energies reduce to the HF eigenvalues, and Eqs.~\eqref{eq:LR_BSE-A} and \eqref{eq:LR_BSE-B} to the RPAx equations: \begin{subequations} \begin{align} \label{eq:LR_RPAx-A} \ARPAx{ia,jb}{\IS} & = \delta_{ij} \delta_{ab} (\eHF{a} - \eHF{i}) + \IS \qty[ 2 \ERI{ia}{jb} - \ERI{ij}{ab} ], \\ \label{eq:LR_RPAx-B} \BRPAx{ia,jb}{\IS} & = \IS \qty[ 2 \ERI{ia}{bj} - \ERI{ib}{aj} ]. \end{align} \end{subequations} %%% FIG 1 %%% %\begin{figure} % \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} %\caption{ %\label{fig:} %} %\end{figure} %%% %%% %%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Conclusion} \label{sec:conclusion} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is the conclusion %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \acknowledgements{ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This work was performed using HPC resources from GENCI-TGCC (Grant No.~2019-A0060801738) and CALMIP (Toulouse) under allocation 2020-18005.
