These derivation are quite different from wave function methods based on one-body orbitals and second quantization. One can study the link between these formalisms by expanding the MBPT Feynman diagrams into time-independent Goldstone diagrams and then compare them to the ones that appear in WFT. However, that would be valuable to extend this connection by expressing the MBPT approximations in the second quantization. This is the aim of these notes. %=================================================================% \section{The unfolded Green's function} %=================================================================% In order to use MBPT in practice, one needs to rely on approximations of the self-energy. In the following, we will focus on the GF(2), GW and GT approximations. The GF($n$) formalism is defined such that the self-energy includes every diagram up to $n$-th order of MP perturbation theory. On the other hand, the GW self-energy is obtained by taking the RPA polarizability and removing the vertex correction in the exact definition of the self-energy. Finally, the GT approximation corresponds to another approximation to the polarizability than in GW, namely the one coming from pp-hh-RPA The corresponding self-energies read as \begin{align} \label{eq:selfenergies} \Sig{pq}{GF(2)}(\omega) & = \sum_{klc} \frac{\aeri{pc}{kl}\aeri{qc}{kl}}{\omega + \eps _c -\eps_k -\eps_l - \ii \eta} \\ & + \sum_{kcd} \frac{\aeri{pk}{cd}\aeri{qk}{cd}}{\omega + \eps _k -\eps_c -\eps_d + \ii \eta} \notag \\ \Sig{pq}{\GW}(\omega) & = \sum_{im} \frac{\sERI{pi}{m} \sERI{qi}{m}}{\omega - \e{i}{} + \Om{m}{\dRPA} - \ii \eta}\\ & + \sum_{am} \frac{\sERI{pa}{m} \sERI{qa}{m}}{\omega - \e{a}{} - \Om{m}{\dRPA} + \ii \eta} \notag \displaybreak \\ \Sig{pq}{\GT}(\omega) & = \sum_{im} \frac{\eri{pi}{\chi^{N+2}_m}\eri{qi}{\chi^{N+2}_m}}{\omega + \e{i}{} - \Om{m}{N+2} - \ii \eta} \\ &+ \sum_{am} \frac{\eri{pa}{\chi^{N-2}_m}\eri{qa}{\chi^{N-2}_m}}{\omega + \e{a}{} - \Om{m}{N-2} + \ii \eta} \notag \end{align} \begin{align} \label{eq:sERI} \sERI{pq}{m} &= \sum_{ia} \ERI{pi}{qa} \qty( \bX{m}{\dRPA} + \bY{m}{\dRPA} )_{ia} \\ \eri{pi}{\chi^{N+2}_m} &= \sum_{c
