The reliability of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the electron-phonon coupling in many materials, including even simple sp-bonded compounds, has been questioned in recent years [1]. Hybrid functionals and quasiparticle GW corrections suggest that nonlocal exchange-correlation enhances the electron-phonon interaction [2-6] as a consequence of an improved description of the electronic screening. This has highlighted the need to move beyond local exchange-correlation functionals within DFT, but complete field-theoretic investigations are still missing in literature. In this talk I will introduce the development of a field-theoretic methodology which is able to predict on an equal footing electronic quasiparticles and phonons as well as their interaction. Such an approach has been implemented within the Quasiparticle Self-consistent GW (QSGW) formalism [7] which describes well the electronic properties for a wide range of materials [7], including many where standard DFT fails. The reliability of a such field-theoretic methodology will be discussed analyzing the renormalization of the optical gap of non polar semiconductors.
