How do go beyond within the DFT framework?
Not easy to find improvement within DFT frameworkThere is no such thing as a perturbative expansionPerdew's Jacob's ladder does not help for the band gap
Need to change the overall framework!

† r t ∣N ,0 ⟩ is a (N+1) electron wavefunctionnot necessarily in the ground state

Summary● The GW approximation solves the band gap
problem!● The calculations are extremely heavy, so that we
resort to many additional technical approximations:method named G
0W
0
● The complexity comes from● Dependance upon empty states● Non-local operators● Dynamic operators that requires freq.
convolutions● There are still some other approximations like the
Plasmon-Pole model... that I'll discuss during the practical session...
