@article{Forsberg_1997,
abstract = {In multiconfigurational perturbation theory, so-called intruders may cause singularities in the potential energy functions, at geometries where an energy denominator becomes zero. When the singularities are weak, they may be successfully removed by level shift techniques. When applied to excited states, a small shift merely moves the singularity. A large shift may cause new divergencies, and too large shifts are unacceptable since the potential function is affected in regions further away from the singularities. This Letter presents an alternative which may be regarded as an imaginary shift. The singularities are not moved, but disappear completely. They are replaced by a small distortion of the potential function. Applications to the N2 ground state, its A3/gEu+ state, and the Cr2 ground state show that the distortion caused by this procedure is small.},

We refer the reader to the recent review by Golze and co-workers (see Ref.~\onlinecite{Golze_2019}) for an extensive list of current challenges in many-body perturbation theory.

Within many-body perturbation theory intruder states manifest themselves as additional solutions of the quasi-particle equation with non-negligible spectral weights.
In some cases, this splitting of the spectral weight even precludes the assignation of the quasi-particle character to a given solution.
These multiple solutions are known to hamper the convergence of partially self-consistent schemes such as quasi-particle self-consistent (qs) $GW$ and eigenvalue-only self-consistent (ev) $GW$. \cite{Veril_2018,Forster_2021,Monino_2022}
Even within the simpler one-shot $G_0W_0$ scheme, these intruder states lead to discontinuities in a plethora of physical quantities such as charged and neutral excitations energies as well as correlation and total energies.\cite{Loos_2018b,Veril_2018,Loos_2020e,Berger_2021,DiSabatino_2021,Monino_2022,Scott_2023}

correlation effects between the internal and external spaces can be incorporated (or folded) without the presence of intruder states.
The goal of this manuscript is to determine if the SRG formalism can effectively address the issue of intruder states in many-body perturbation theory, as it has in other areas of electronic and nuclear structure theory.
