Method for solving the N-point Hedin equations — •Falk Tandetzky, Sangeeta Sharma, Kay Dewhurst, and Hardy Gross — Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik (Theory Dep.), Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle, Germany

The GW approximation is a state-of-the-art method for band structure calculations but there are still some cases for which GW fails [1]. Towards the goal of improving on this situation, we present a new method for solving the Hedin equations which, expressed perturbatively, includes an infnite subset of vertex corrections. We further provide conditions for guaranteeing convergence of the algorithm to a unique solution. This is an important point since it has recently been pointed out that there is danger of running into unphysical solutions, when using vertex corrections [2].

All these findings are supported by numerical calculations for N=1 which compare the exact Σ[G,W] to that obtained from our approximate algorithm as well as a Borel resummation of the linearised Hedin equations [2,3]. As our method has a favourable scaling with N we envisage that it can be applied to physical problems, albeit with discretized degrees of freedom and be useful for band structure calculations beyond the GW approximation.
