Dear Fabien,

thanks for your email with detailed information and the references (thesis).
According to the info in the abinit website for version 5.1.2, your
implementation of GW allows for some "advanced options" not previously
available. Probably you remember i was asking on extracting the
quasiparticle states. Well, this is referred to in the website as well as
the really helpful option to extract the spectral function.

 In order to run fully dynamical (ie expensive) GW, rather than plasmon
pole model, which is explained in the website on "advanced options"
(Calculations without using the Plasmon-Pole model ), i seem to remember
the former version of the code had two inner logical parameters
analytic_continuation and contour_deformation, which can be used instead of
plasmon_pole_model, in which case probably no extra input's are required
(as compared to the tutorials files). But since you developed this new
version, you probably included extra inputs/options???
I am just wondering whether for this advanced option (no plasmon pole
model), i should ask you for some example input file or there is no need
for that.

thanks

Manolo
