Low-cost alternatives to the Bethe-Salpeter equation: Towards simple hybrid functionals for excitonic effects in solids

The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) is the standard computational method for optical excitations in solids, including excitonic effects. In this paper we explore ways to reduce the computational cost of the BSE by simplifying the dielectrically screened Coulomb interaction: Instead of calculating the...
