Hello Developers,

1- Is that possible to to do GW calculation with HSE or PBE0 functional of espresso package???
2- What is the meaning of DFT and HF in output file?

Thanks

Drear Samaneh,
1) No, there is people working on that, but at the moment it is not possible to perform GW calculations on top of hybrid functionals.
2) <HF> is the exchange self energy, see here.
<DFT> is the mean value of <n|Vxc|n>, where Vxc is the exchange-correlation potential you used in your ground state calculation.
Both this terms are needed for the calculation of the GW corrections (see here)
Best,
