In many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) the self-energy $\ensuremath{\Sigma}=iGW\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ plays a key role since it contains all the many-body effects of the system. The exact self-energy is not known; as a first approximation one can set the vertex function $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ to unity...
