\section{Introduction}
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
We consider {\GOWO} for the sake of simplicity but the same analysis can be performed in the case of (partially) self-consistent schemes.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
\section{Downfold: The non-linear $GW$ problem}
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
Here, for the sake of simplicity, we consider a restricted Hartree-Fock (HF) starting point but the present analysis can be straightforwardly extended to a Kohn-Sham (KS) starting point.
|
|
Within the {\GOWO} approximation, in order to obtain the quasiparticle energies and the corresponding satellites, one solve, for each spatial orbital $p$, the following (non-linear) quasiparticle equation
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\label{eq:qp_eq}
|
|
\eps{p}{\HF} + \SigC{p}(\omega) - \omega = 0
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
where $\eps{p}{\HF}$ is the $p$th HF orbital energy and the correlation part of the {\GOWO} self-energy reads
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\SigC{p}(\omega)
|
|
= \sum_{im} \frac{2\ERI{pi}{m}^2}{\omega - \eps{i}{\HF} + \Om{m}{\RPA} - i \eta}
|
|
+ \sum_{am} \frac{2\ERI{pa}{m}^2}{\omega - \eps{a}{\HF} - \Om{m}{\RPA} + i \eta}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
Within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation, the screened two-electron integrals are given by
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\ERI{pq}{m} = \sum_{ia} \ERI{pq}{ia} X_{ia,m}^\RPA
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
where $\Om{m}{\RPA}$ and $\bX{m}{\RPA}$ are respectively the $m$th eigenvalue and eigenvector of the RPA problem in the Tamm-Dancoff approximation, \ie,
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\bA{}{\RPA} \cdot \bX{m}{\RPA} = \Om{m}{\RPA} \bX{m}{\RPA}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
with
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
A_{ia,jb}^{\RPA} = (\eps{a}{\HF} - \eps{i}{\HF}) \delta_{ij} \delta_{ab} + \ERI{ia}{bj}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
As a non-linear equation, Eq.~\eqref{eq:qp_eq} has many solutions $\eps{p,s}{}$ and their corresponding weight is given by the value of the so-called renormalization factor
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
0 \le Z_{p,s} = \qty[ 1 - \eval{\pdv{\SigC{p}(\omega)}{\omega}}_{\omega = \eps{p,s}{}} ]^{-1} \le 1
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
In a well-behaved case, one of the solution (the so-called quasiparticle) $\eps{p}{} \equiv \eps{p,s=0}{}$ has a large weight $Z_{} \equiv Z_{p,=0}$
|
|
Note that we have the following important conservation rules
|
|
\begin{align}
|
|
\sum_{s} Z_{p,s} & = 1
|
|
&
|
|
\sum_{s} Z_{p,s} \eps{p,s}{} & = \eps{p}{\HF}
|
|
\end{align}
|
|
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
\section{Upfolding: the linear $GW$ problem}
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
The non-linear quasiparticle equation \eqref{eq:qp_eq} can be transformed into a larger linear problem via an upfolding process where the 2h1p and 2p1h sectors
|
|
are upfolded from the 1h and 1p sectors.
|
|
For each orbital $p$, this yields a linear eigenvalue problem of the form
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\bH^{(p)} \bc{}{(p,s)} = \eps{p,s}{} \bc{}{(p,s)}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
with
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\label{eq:Hp}
|
|
\bH^{(p)} =
|
|
\begin{pmatrix}
|
|
\eps{p}{\HF} & \bV{p}{\text{2h1p}} & \bV{p}{\text{2p1h}}
|
|
\\
|
|
\T{(\bV{p}{\text{2h1p}})} & \bC{}{\text{2h1p}} & \bO
|
|
\\
|
|
\T{(\bV{p}{\text{2p1h}})} & \bO & \bC{}{\text{2p1h}}
|
|
\end{pmatrix}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
where
|
|
\begin{align}
|
|
C^\text{2h1p}_{ija,kcl} & = \qty[ \qty( \eps{i}{\HF} + \eps{j}{\HF} - \eps{a}{\HF}) \delta_{jl} \delta_{ac} - 2 \ERI{ja}{cl} ] \delta_{ik}
|
|
\\
|
|
C^\text{2p1h}_{iab,kcd} & = \qty[ \qty( \eps{a}{\HF} + \eps{b}{\HF} - \eps{i}{\HF}) \delta_{ik} \delta_{ac} + 2 \ERI{ai}{kc} ] \delta_{bd}
|
|
\end{align}
|
|
and the corresponding coupling blocks read
|
|
\begin{align}
|
|
V^\text{2h1p}_{p,kld} & = \sqrt{2} \ERI{pk}{cl}
|
|
&
|
|
V^\text{2p1h}_{p,cld} & = \sqrt{2} \ERI{pd}{kc}
|
|
\end{align}
|
|
The size of this eigenvalue problem is $N = 1 + N^\text{2h1p} + N^\text{2p1h} = 1 + O^2 V + O V^2$, and this eigenvalue problem has to be solved for each orbital that one wants to correct.
|
|
Because the renormalization factor corresponds to the projection of the vector $\bc{}{(p,s)}$ onto the reference space, the weight of a solution $(p,s)$ is given by the the first coefficient of their corresponding eigenvector $\bc{}{(p,s)}$, \ie,
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
Z_{p,s} = \qty[ c_{1}^{(p,s)} ]^{2}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
It is important to understand that diagonalizing $\bH^{(p)}$ in Eq.~\eqref{eq:Hp} is completely equivalent to solving the quasiparticle equation \eqref{eq:qp_eq}.
|
|
This can be further illustrate by expanding the secular equation associated with Eq.~\eqref{eq:Hp}
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\det[ \bH^{(p)} - \omega \bI ] = 0
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
and comparing it with Eq.~\eqref{eq:qp_eq} by setting
|
|
\begin{multline}
|
|
\SigC{p}(\omega)
|
|
= \bV{p}{\text{2h1p}} \cdot \qty(\omega \bI - \bC{}{\text{2h1p}} )^{-1} \cdot \T{\qty(\bV{p}{\text{2h1p}})}
|
|
\\
|
|
+ \bV{p}{\text{2p1h}} \cdot \qty(\omega \bI - \bC{}{\text{2p1h}} )^{-1} \cdot \T{\qty(\bV{p}{\text{2p1h}})}
|
|
\end{multline}
|
|
The main difference between the two approaches is that, by diagonalizing Eq.~\eqref{eq:Hp}, one has directly access to the eigenvectors associated with each quasiparticle and satellites.
|
|
|
|
One can see this downfolding process as the construction of an frequency-dependent effective Hamiltonian where the reference (zeroth-order) space is composed by a single determinant of the 1h or 1p sector and the external (first-order) space by all the singly-excited states built from to this reference electronic configuration.

\section{An illustrative example}
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
Multiple solution issues in $GW$ appears all the time, especially for orbitals that are far in energy from the Fermi level.
|
|
Therefore, such issues are ubiquitous when one wants to compute core ionized states for example.
|
|
|
|
In order to illustrate the appearance and the origin of these multiple solutions, we consider the hydrogen molecule in the 6-31G basis set which corresponds to a system with 2 electrons and 4 spatial orbitals (one occupied and three virtual).
|
|
This example was already considered in our previous work but here we provide further insights on the origin of the appearances of these multiple solutions.
|

\end{figure*}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
Figure \ref{fig:H2} shows the evolution of the quasiparticle energies at the {\GOWO}@HF/6-31G level as a function on the internuclear distance $\RHH$.
|
|
As one can see there are two problematic regions showing obvious discontinuities around $\RHH = \SI{1}{\AA}$ and $\RHH = \SI{1}{\AA}$
|

\section{Introducing regularized $GW$ methods}
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
One way to hamper such issues is to resort to regularization of the $GW$ self-energy.
|
|
Of course, the way of regularizing the self-energy is not unique but here we consider 3 different ways directly imported from MP2 theory.
|
|
|
|
This helps greatly convergence for (partially) self-consistent $GW$ methods.
