lsdensities: Lattice spectral densities

LSDensities: Lattice Spectral Densities

lsdensities is a Python library for the calculation of smeared spectral densities from lattice correlators.

Solutions can be obtained with the Hansen Lupo Tantalo method and Bayesian inference with Gaussian Processes, or combinations of the two.

This library is based on mpmath for performing the high-precision arithmetic operations that are necessary for the solution of the inverse problem.

Niccolò Forzano, Alessandro Lupo.

Installation

One can download, build and install the package

pip install https://github.com/LupoA/lsdensities

Usage

Preliminary tests can be found in the tests folder, and tested using the pytest command.

Usage examples can be found in the examples folder.

The most basic workflow is illustrated in examples/runExact.py, which generates a high-precision correlator, and computes the corresponding spectral density smeared with one of the available kernels.

A realistic example is shown in examples/runInverseProblem.py, where input data for the correlator needs to be provided.

The most complete class is src/lsdensities/InverseProblemWrapper.py, which provides utilities for estimating errors and treating the bias both in the HLT and in the Bayesian framework.

                            # which is inferred from time_extent and periodicity,
                            # if not specified

                                          # this example has exact data, so the parameters
