Sums over Brillouin zone

class triqs.sumk.SumkDiscreteFromLattice(lattice, patch=None, n_points=8, method='Riemann')[source]

  • Computes

\[G \leftarrow \sum_k (\omega + \mu - \epsilon_k - \Sigma(k,\omega))^{-1}\]

for GF functions with blocks of the size of the matrix eps_k with a discrete sum.

  • The object contains the discretized hoppings and points in the arrays hopping, bz_points,bz_weights,mu_pattern,overlap (IF non orthogonal) It can also generate a grid (ReComputeGrid) for a regular grid or a Gauss-Legendre sum for the whole Brillouin Zone or a patch of the BZ.

property GFBlocIndices

Returns the ONLY block indices accepted for the G and Sigma argument of the SumK function

Recompute_Grid(n_points, method='Riemann', Q=None)[source]

(Re)Computes the grid on the patch given at construction:

  • n_points: Number of points in the BZ in EACH direction

  • method: Riemann (default) or ‘Gauss’ (not checked)

  • Q: anything from which a 1d-array can be computed.

    computes t(k+Q) instead of t(k) (useful for bare chi_0)

n_kpts()

Returns the number of k points

resize_arrays(nk)

Just constructs the arrays, but without initializing them - nk: total number of k points
