Dear Yambo developers,
In GoWo calculations the gap was opened by almost 0.10 eV but the subsequent GW (G1W1 on top of G0W0) resulted in the negative corrections of 0.46 eV resulting in to decrease in the gap!! This was not what I was expecting. The calculations include SOC effects while I also decreased the band range in QPkrange slightly in the G1W1 calculations (but still including plenty of bands around Fermi). The inputs are also attached herein. Can you please suggest what I might be doing wrong here?
This is the result of the report from the G2W2 (when reading G1W1 ndb.QP database)

Thanks,
PS (after post): It seems like a similar issue was reported here earlier too!

I'm not sure whether the parallelization problem exists also in v5.0.2 or not!
