Many-body theory beyond GW: Towards a complete description of two-body correlated propagation by Brian Cunningham

“…The method requires diagonalization of the usual particle-hole matrix—derived from the Bethe-Salpter equation—and also a particle-particle+hole-hole matrix that has a similar structure; with the second-order exchange present in all channels. The method goes beyond current widely used methods that adopt the GW approximation, whilst being ab initio in nature and requiring relatively modest extensions to existing functionality, e.g., it could be implemented in the sophisticated quasiparticle self-consistent framework. …”
