How do I perform low scaling GW calculations in the presence of spin-orbit coupling?

Dear developers,

I notice that VASP.6 has released Low scaling GW algorithms, and I am trying to use it for a system with strong spin-orbit coupling. However, it tells me that the code cannot deal with non-collinear calculations. So how to use the low scaling GW algorithms on top of non-collinear calculations? Thank you in advances!


Best regards,
Bo

Currently WAVECARs with non-collinear magnetic moments (produced with vasp_ncl) cannot be used for low-scaling GW algorithms.
