The analytic properties of -M are the same as those of the self-energy of a retarded Green's function. In the approximate treatment of GW, -M closely resembles a self-energy, with differences, e.g., the imaginary part is twice too large. The correct relation between -M and the self-energy is known for the electron-phonon case and is conjectured to be similar for other perturbations. When vertex corrections are ignored there is a known relation.
