2.5 The GW approximation 17<br />
Vertex function:<br />

Γ(1,2,3) = δ(1,2)δ(1,3) +<br />
Dielectric function:<br />

ε = 1 − νP (2.23)<br />
The screened potential W can also be written as<br />
∫<br />
W(1,2) =<br />

From Hedin’s equations, we know how to calculate the self-energy. Although the GWΓ<br />
method is implemented in a future version of <strong>TOMBO</strong>, the following GW approximation is<br />
needed for the moment.<br />
2.5 The GW approximation<br />
A practical approximation to calculate Σ is the GW approximation proposed by Hedin<br />
[17]. In this GW approximation, the vertex function Γ is approximated in its zeroth-order<br />
form, Γ(1,2,3) = δ(12)δ(13). So the Hedin’s equations become:<br />
Σ(1,2) = iG(1,2)W(1 + ,2) (2.25)<br />
∫∫<br />
G(1,2) = G 0 (1,2) +<br />
d(3)d(4)G 0 (1,3)Σ(3,4)G(4,2) (2.26)<br />
P(1,2) = −iG(1,2)G(2,1) (2.27)<br />
∫∫<br />
W(1,2) = ν(1,2) +<br />
d(3)d(4)ν(1,3)P(3,4)W(4,2) (2.28)<br />
This self-consistent GW calculation is possible in <strong>TOMBO</strong> by setting the first character<br />
of iApp as “G” in INPUT.inp, although crystal calculation and numerical ω integration<br />
(which will be explained below) are not available now.<br />
The explicit form of the self-energy Σ in the GW approximation is given by<br />
Σ GW (r,r ′ ;ε) = i ∫<br />
