We study Density Functional Theory models for systems which are translationally invariant in some directions, such as a homogeneous 2-d slab in the 3-d space. We show how the different terms of the energy are modified and we derive reduced…

We describe a finite-field approach to compute density response functions, which allows for efficient $G_0W_0$ and $G_0W_0\Gamma_0$ calculations beyond the random phase approximation. The method is easily applicable to density functional…
