#### Abstract

Ab initio many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation is a Green’s function formalism widely used in the calculation of quasiparticle excitation energies of solids. In what has become an increasingly standard approach, Kohn-Sham eigenenergies, generated from a DFT calculation with a strategically-chosen exchange correlation functional “starting point”, are used to construct G and W , and then perturbatively corrected by the resultant GW self-energy. In practice, there are several ways to construct the GW self-energy, and these can lead to variations in predicted quasiparticle energies. For example, for ZnO and TiO 2 , reported GW fundamental gaps can vary by more than 1 eV. In this work, we address the convergence and key approximations in contemporary G 0 W 0 calculations, including frequency-integration schemes and the treatment of the Coulomb divergence in the exact-exchange term. We study several systems, and compare three different GW codes: BerkeleyGW, Abinit and Yambo. We demonstrate, for the first time, that the same quasiparticle energies for systems in the condensed phase can be obtained with different codes, and we provide a comprehensive assessment of implementations of the GW approximation.
