Descriptors

descriptors are simple objects that describe a function of frequencies and permits to compute it with its high frequencies expansion.

They can be combined into simple expressions. Example:

Reference

class pytriqs.gf.descriptors.Omega

The function \(\omega \rightarrow \omega\). If used with Matsubara Green’s functions, the corresponding class member is called iOmega_n.

class pytriqs.gf.descriptors.Function(function)

Stores a python function

If the Green’s function is defined on an array of points \(x_i\), then it will be initialized to \(F(x_i)\).

class pytriqs.gf.descriptors.SemiCircular(half_bandwidth, chem_potential=0.0)

Hilbert transform of a semicircular density of states, i.e.

\[g(z) = \int \frac{A(\omega)}{z-\omega} d\omega\]

where \(A(\omega) = \theta( D - |\omega|) 2 \sqrt{ D^2 - \omega^2}/(\pi D^2)\).

(Only works in combination with frequency Green’s functions.)

class pytriqs.gf.descriptors.Flat(half_bandwidth)

The Hilbert transform of a flat density of states, with cut-off

\[g(z) = \int \frac{A(\omega)}{z-\omega} d\omega\]

where \(A(\omega) = \theta( D^2 - \omega^2)/(2D)\).

(Only works in combination with frequency Green’s functions.)
