Several other regularizers are possible \cite{Stuck_2013,Rostam_2017,Lee_2018a,Evangelista_2014b,Shee_2021} and in particular, it was shown in Ref.~\onlinecite{Monino_2022} that a regularizer inspired by the SRG had some advantages over the imaginary shift.
Nonetheless, it would be more rigorous, and more instructive, to obtain this regularizer from first principles by applying the SRG formalism to many-body perturbation theory.
This is the central aim of the present work.

By applying the SRG to $GW$, our aim is to gradually remove the coupling between the quasiparticle and the satellites resulting in a renormalized quasiparticle equation.
However, to do so, one must identify the coupling terms in Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq}, which is not straightforward.
A way around this problem is to transform Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} to its upfolded version which elegantly highlights the coupling terms in the process.
The upfolded $GW$ quasiparticle equation is \cite{Bintrim_2021,Tolle_2022}

Equations \eqref{eq:GWlin} and \eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} yield exactly the quasiparticle and satellite energies but one is linear and the other is not.
The price to pay for this linearity is that the size of the matrix in the former is $\order{K^3}$ while it is only $\order{K}$ in the latter.
We refer to Ref.~\onlinecite{Bintrim_2021} for a detailed discussion of the up/downfolding processes of the $GW$ equations (see also Refs.~\onlinecite{Tolle_2022,Scott_2023}).
