The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) is the state-of-art approach to calculate the absorption spectra of a large variety of materials [1]. Here we show that that the BSE is a powerful and accurate method also for the calculation of the exciton dispersion [2-4] (i.e. the exciton energy as a function of the momentum q carried by the electron-hole pair), and of the off-diagonal elements of the dielectric function in reciprocal space єG,G′(q,ω) [5]. On the one hand, this allows the ab initio simulation of spectra measured by Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS), including its Coherent version (CIXS), well beyond the optical limit q→0. On the other hand, this opens the door to the calculation of spectral functions [6-8] using the cumulant expansion for the Green’s function G with a screened Coulomb interaction W that includes excitonic effects beyond the random-phase approximation employed in the GW approximation.
