Note that, in the limit $s\to\infty$, the dynamic part of the self-energy [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:srg_sigma}] tends to zero, \ie, while the dynamic part of the self-energy [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:srg_sigma}] tends to zero, \ie,

Therefore, the SRG flow continuously kills the dynamic part $\widetilde{\bSig}(\omega; s)$ while creating a static correction $\widetilde{\bF}(s)$. Therefore, the SRG flow continuously transforms the dynamical self-energy $\widetilde{\bSig}(\omega; s)$ into a static correction $\widetilde{\bF}^{(2)}(s)$.

Because the $s\to\infty$ limit of Eq.~(\ref{eq:GW_renorm}) is purely static, it can be seen as a qs$GW$ calculation with an alternative static approximation than the usual one of Eq.~(\ref{eq:sym_qsgw}). Because the large-$s$ limit of Eq.~\eqref{eq:GW_renorm} is purely static and hermitian, the new alternative form of the self-energy reported in Eq.~\eqref{eq:static_F2} can be naturally used in qs$GW$ calculations to replace Eq.~\eqref{eq:sym_qsgw}.
Unfortunately, as we shall discuss further in Sec.~\ref{sec:results}, in the $s\to\infty$ limit, self-consistently solving the renormalized quasi-particle equation is once again quite difficult, if not impossible. Unfortunately, as we shall discuss further in Sec.~\ref{sec:results}, as $s\to\infty$, self-consistently is once again quite difficult to achieve, if not impossible.
However, one can define a more flexible new static self-energy, which will be referred to as SRG-qs$GW$ in the following, by discarding the dynamic part in Eq.~(\ref{eq:GW_renorm}).

It is well-known that in traditional qs$GW$ calculation increasing the imaginary shift $\ii\eta$ to ensure convergence in difficult cases is most often unavoidable.

Similarly, in SRG-qs$GW$ one might need to decrease the value of $s$ to ensure convergence. Similarly, in SRG-qs$GW$, one might need to decrease the value of $s$ to ensure convergence.
The fact that the $s\to\infty$ static limit does not always converge when used in a qs$GW$ calculation could have been predicted because in this limit even the intruder states have been included in $\tilde{\bF}$.

Therefore, one should use a value of $s$ large enough to include almost every state but small enough to avoid intruder states. Therefore, one should use a value of $s$ large enough to include almost every state but small enough to avoid intruder states.
