The G=0 term in electron-hole exchange interaction

Hello,

In yambo implementation, to build the electron-hole exchange kernel V, the G=0 term is disregarded. However, from literatures, this term is responsible for the longitudinal-transverse splitting. I'm wondering why the G=0 term is omitted in the implementation.

Best,

Dear Xiaoming Wang

there is the possibility to include or exclude the G=0 in the BSE,
depending if you want only longitudinal or also transverse excitons
using the flag:

Lkind= "Lbar" # [BSE] Lbar (default) / full

in order to activate this flag use the verbosity -V resp when you generate the BSE input.

Hi Claudio,

The G=0 term is direction dependent. for Lkind="full", which parameter controls the polarization direction? Is it BLongDir?
