Abstract.
The many-body dynamics of interacting electrons in condensed matter and quantum chemistry is often studied at the quasiparticle level, where the perturbative diagrammatic series is partially resummed. Based on Hedin's equations for self-energy, polarization, propagator, effective potential, and vertex function, dressed (skeleton) Feynman diagrams are enumerated. Such diagram counts provide useful simple checks for extensions of the theory for future realistic simulations.
