Dear *,

 I believe the spectral function is computed for the GW band structure, ie, 
after a GW computation (either standard one-shot or self-consistent).

 Since spectral function and density of states is sometimes deemed the same 
thing, i would like to have this clarified: how do you define the spectral 
function, is it the fully integrated energy-dependent DOS or, else, it is the 
k,k'-dependent imaginary part of the Green's Function.
 
I would appreciate if you could let me know how you calculate it, and where 
in the code.

thanks

Manolo
