Throughout the manuscript $p,q,r,s$ indices are used for general orbitals while $i,j,k,l$ and $a,b,c,d$ refers to occupied and virtual orbitals, respectively.
The indices $v$ and $w$ will be used for neutral excitations, \ie composite indices $v=(ia)$.

Then, the perturbative expansions can be inserted in Eq.~(\ref{eq:GWlin}) before downfolding to obtain a renormalised quasi-particle equation.
In particular, in this manuscript the focus will be on the second-order renormalized quasi-particle equation.

Note that at $s=0$ the elements $W_{p,(q,v)}^{(1)}(0)$ are equal to the two-electron screened integrals defined in Eq.~(\ref{eq:GW_sERI}) and that for $s\to\infty$ they go to zero.
Therefore, $W_{p,(q,v)}^{(1)}(s)$ are renormalized two-electrons screened integrals.
Note the close similarity of the first-order element expressions with the ones of Evangelista in Ref.~\onlinecite{Evangelista_2014b} obtained in a second quantization formalism (see also Ref.~\onlinecite{Hergert_2016}).

Therefore, the SRG flow gradually transforms the dynamic degrees of freedom in $\bSig(\omega)$ in static ones, starting from the ones that have the largest denominators in Eq.~(\ref{eq:static_F2}).
Note that in the $s\to\infty$ limit the dynamic part of the self-energy [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:srg_sigma}] tends to zero.
Therefore, the SRG flow gradually transforms the dynamic degrees of freedom of $\bSig(\omega)$ in static ones, starting from the ones that have the largest denominators in Eq.~(\ref{eq:static_F2}).
Interestingly, the static limit, \ie $s\to\infty$ limit, of Eq.~(\ref{eq:GW_renorm}) defines an alternative qs$GW$ approximation to the one defined by Eq.~(\ref{eq:sym_qsgw}).
Yet, both are closely related as they share the same diagonal terms.
Also, note that the hermiticity is naturally enforced in the SRG static approximation as opposed to the symmetrized case.
