Many-body perturbation theory also suffers from the infamous intruder-state problem,\cite{Andersson_1994,Andersson_1995a,Roos_1995,Forsberg_1997,Olsen_2000,Choe_2001} where they manifest themselves as solutions of the quasiparticle equation with non-negligible spectral weights.
|
||||
In some cases, this transfer of spectral weight makes it difficult to distinguish between a quasiparticle and a satellite.
|
||||
These multiple solutions hinder the convergence of partially self-consistent schemes such as quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ (qs$GW$) and eigenvalue-only self-consistent $GW$ (ev$GW$). \cite{Veril_2018,Forster_2021,Monino_2022}
|
||||
The simpler one-shot $G_0W_0$ scheme is also impacted by these intruder states, leading to discontinuities in a variety of physical quantities including charged and neutral excitation energies, correlation and total energies.\cite{Loos_2018b,Veril_2018,Loos_2020e,Berger_2021,DiSabatino_2021,Monino_2022,Scott_2023}

These convergence problems and discontinuities can even happen in the weakly correlated regime where the $GW$ approximation is supposed to be valid.
|

|

In a recent study, Monino and Loos showed that the discontinuities could be removed by the introduction of a regularizer inspired by the similarity renormalization group (SRG) in the quasiparticle equation. \cite{Monino_2022}

Because of the frequency dependence of the self-energy, fully solving the quasiparticle equation \eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} is a rather complicated task.
|
||||
Hence, several approximate schemes have been developed to bypass self-consistency.
|
||||
The most popular strategy is the one-shot (perturbative) scheme, known as $G_0W_0$, where the self-consistency is completely abandoned, and the off-diagonal elements of Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} are neglected.

One obvious flaw of the one-shot scheme mentioned above is its starting point dependence.
|

Indeed, in Eq.~\eqref{eq:G0W0} we chose to use the HF orbital energies but this is arbitrary and one could have chosen Kohn-Sham orbitals for example.
|

Therefore, one can ``tune'' the starting point to obtain the best one-shot energies possible, which is commonly done. \cite{Korzdorfer_2012,Marom_2012,Bruneval_2013,Gallandi_2015,Caruso_2016, Gallandi_2016}

This procedure is iterated until convergence for $\epsilon_p$ is reached.
|

However, if one of the quasiparticle equations does not have a well-defined quasiparticle solution, reaching self-consistency can be quite difficult, if not impossible.
|
||||
Even at convergence, the starting point dependence is not totally removed as the results still depend on the initial molecular orbitals. \cite{Marom_2012}

In order to update both the orbital energies and coefficients, one must consider the off-diagonal elements in $\bSig(\omega)$.
|
||||
To take into account the off-diagonal elements without solving the dynamic quasiparticle equation [Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq}], one can resort to the quasiparticle self-consistent (qs) $GW$ scheme in which $\bSig(\omega)$ is replaced by a static approximation $\bSig^{\qs}$.

Then the qs$GW$ problem is solved using the usual HF algorithm with $\bF$ replaced by $\bF + \bSig^{\qs}$.

In order to update both the orbitals and their corresponding energies, one must consider the off-diagonal elements in $\bSig(\omega)$.

To avoid solving the non-Hermitian and dynamic quasiparticle equation defined in Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq}, one can resort to the qs$GW$ scheme in which $\bSig(\omega)$ is replaced by a static approximation $\bSig^{\qs}$.
|

Then, the qs$GW$ equations are solved via a standard self-consistent field procedure similar to the HF algorithm where $\bF$ is replaced by $\bF + \bSig^{\qs}$.

Once again, in cases where multiple solutions have large spectral weights, self-consistency can be difficult to reach at the qs$GW$ level.
|
||||
Multiple solutions of Eq.~\eqref{eq:G0W0} arise due to the $\omega$ dependence of the self-energy.
|
||||
Therefore, by suppressing this dependence the static approximation relies on the fact that there is one well-defined quasiparticle solution.
|

If it is not the case, the qs$GW$ self-consistent scheme will oscillate between the solutions with large weights. \cite{Forster_2021}

The satellites causing convergence problems are the so-called intruder states.

The intruder state problem can be dealt with by introducing \textit{ad hoc} regularisers.

The $\ii \eta$ term that is usually added in the denominators of the self-energy [see Eq.~(\ref{eq:GW_selfenergy})] is the usual imaginary-shift regulariser used in various other theories flawed by intruder states. \cite{Surjan_1996,Forsberg_1997,Monino_2022,Battaglia_2022}

Various other regularisers are possible and in particular one of us has shown that a regulariser inspired by the SRG had some advantages over the imaginary shift. \cite{Monino_2022}

Note that, in the limit $s\to\infty$, the dynamic part of the self-energy [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:srg_sigma}] tends to zero.
|
||||
Therefore, the SRG flow continuously transforms the dynamic part $\widetilde{\bSig}(\omega; s)$ into a static correction $\widetilde{\bF}(s)$.
|
||||
This transformation is done gradually starting from the states that have the largest denominators in Eq.~\eqref{eq:static_F2}.

Interestingly, the static limit, \ie the $s\to\infty$ limit, of Eq.~\eqref{eq:GW_renorm} defines an alternative qs$GW$ approximation to the one defined by Eq.~\eqref{eq:sym_qsgw} which matrix elements read as
|

\begin{equation}
|

\label{eq:sym_qsGW}
|

\Sigma_{pq}^{\text{qs}}(\eta) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{r\nu} \left( \frac{\Delta_{pr\nu}}{\Delta_{pr\nu}^2 + \eta^2} +\frac{\Delta_{qr\nu}}{\Delta_{qr\nu}^2 + \eta^2} \right) W_{p,r\nu} W^{\dagger}_{r\nu,q}.

\Sigma_{pq}^{\text{qs}}(\eta) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{r\nu} \qty( \frac{\Delta_{pr\nu}}{\Delta_{pr\nu}^2 + \titou{\eta^2}} +\frac{\Delta_{qr\nu}}{\Delta_{qr\nu}^2 + \titou{\eta^2}} ) W_{p,r\nu} \titou{W_{q,r\nu}}.

\end{equation}

This alternative static form will be refered to as SRG-qs$GW$ in the following.

Both approximations are closely related as they share the same diagonal terms when $\eta=0$.

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 $\tilde{\bF}$.
