\alert{Here comes the introduction.}
Unless otherwise stated, atomic units are used, and we assume real quantities throughout this manuscript.
In the following, we consider systems with collinear spins and a spin-independent hamiltonian without contributions such as spin?orbit interaction.

The one-body Green's function is defined as
The pillar of Green's function many-body perturbation theory is the (time-ordered) one-body Green's function, which has poles at the charged excitations (i.e., ionization potentials and electron affinities) of the system.
The spin-$\sig$ component of the one-body Green's function reads
\begin{equation}
G^{\sig}(\br_1,\br_2;\omega)
= \sum_i \frac{\MO{i_\sig}(\br_1) \MO{i_\sig}(\br_2)}{\omega - \e{i_\sig}{} - i\eta}
+ \sum_a \frac{\MO{a_\sig}(\br_1) \MO{a_\sig}(\br_2)}{\omega - \e{a_\sig}{} + i\eta}
\end{equation}
Based on this Green's function, one can easily compute the non-interacting polarizability
where $\eta$ is a positive infinitesimal.
Based on it, one can easily compute the non-interacting polarizability (which is a sum over spins)
\begin{equation}
\chi_0(\br_1,\br_2;\omega) = - \frac{i}{2\pi} \sum_\sig \int G^{\sig}(\br_1,\br_2;\omega+\omega') G^{\sig}(\br_1,\br_2;\omega') d\omega'
\end{equation}
and subseauently the dielectric function
and subsequently the dielectric function
\begin{equation}
\epsilon(\br_1,\br-2;\omega) = \delta(\br_1 - \br_2) - \int \frac{\chi_0(\br_1,\br_3;\omega) }{\abs{\br_2 - \br_3}} d\br_3
\end{equation}
where $\delta(\br_1 - \br_2)$ is the Dirac functions.
Based on this latter ingredient, one can access the dynamically-screened Coulomb potential
\begin{equation}
W(\br_1,\br_2;\omega) = \int \frac{\epsilon^{-1}(\br_1,\br_3;\omega) }{\abs{\br_2 - \br_3}} d\br_3
\end{equation}
Within the $GW$ formalism, the dynamical screening $W(\omega)$ is computed at the RPA level using the spin-conserved neutral excitations.
In the orbital basis, the spectral representation of $W(\omega)$ read
which is spin independent as the bare Coulomb interaction $\abs{\br_1 - \br_2}^{-1}$ does not depend on spin coordinates.
Therefore, within the $GW$ formalism, the dynamical screening $W(\omega)$ is computed at the RPA level using the spin-conserved neutral excitations.
In the orbital basis, the spectral representation of $W(\omega)$ reads
\begin{multline}
\label{eq:W}
W_{p_\sig q_\sig,r_\sigp s_\sigp}(\omega) = \ERI{p_\sig q_\sig}{r_\sigp s_\sigp}

\end{equation}
and the screened two-electron integrals (or spectral weights) are explicitly given by
\begin{equation}
\ERI{p_\sig q_\sig}{m} = \sum_{ia\sigp} \ERI{p_\sig q_\sig}{r_\sigp s_\sigp} (\bX{m}{\spc,\RPA}+\bY{m}{\spc,\RPA})_{i_\sigp a_\sigp}

In Eqs.~\eqref{eq:W} and \eqref{eq:sERI}, the RPA spin-conserved neutral excitations $\Om{m}{\spc,\RPA}$ and their corresponding eigenvectors $(\bX{m}{\spc,\RPA}+\bY{m}{\spc,\RPA})$ are obtained by solving the following linear response system

The quasiparticle energies $\eGW{p}$ are obtained by solving the frequency-dependent quasiparticle equation
which has been split in exchange (x) and correlation (c) parts for convenience.
The Dyson equation linking the Green's function and the self-energy holds separately for each spin component, and the quasiparticle energies $\eGW{p_\sig}$ are obtained by solving the frequency-dependent quasiparticle equation

\omega = \eHF{p\sigma} + \SigC{p\sigma}(\omega)

The explicit expressions of $\Delta \expval{S^2}_m^{\spc}$ and $\Delta \expval{S^2}_m^{\spf}$ can be found in the Appendix of Ref.~\onlinecite{Li_2010} for spin-conserved and spin-flip excitations, and are functions of the $\bX{m}{}$ and $\bY{m}{}$ vectors and the orbital overlaps.
As explained in Ref.~\onlinecite{Casanova_2020}, there are two sources of spin contamination: i) spin contamination of the reference, and ii) spin-contamination of the excited states due to the spin incompleteness.
