Description

primordial is a python package for solving cosmological inflationary equations.

It is very much in beta stage, and currently being built for research purposes.

Example Usage

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from primordial.solver import Solver
from primordial.equations.inflation_potentials import ChaoticPotential
from primordial.equations.t.inflation import Equations, KD_initial_conditions
from primordial.equations.events import Inflation, Stationary
import numpy

fig, ax = plt.subplots(3,sharex=True)
for K in [-1, 0, +1]:
     m = 1
     V = ChaoticPotential(m)
     equations = Equations(K, V)

     events= [Inflation(equations),                    # Record inflation entry and exit
              Inflation(equations, -1, terminal=True), # Stop on inflation exit
              Stationary(equations, terminal=True)]    # Stop if universe stops expanding


     solver = Solver(equations, events)

     N_p = -1.5
     phi_p = 23
     t_p = 1e-5
     ic = KD_initial_conditions(t_p, N_p, phi_p)
     t = numpy.logspace(-5,10,1e6)

     sol = solver.solve(ic, t)

     ax[0].plot(sol.N,sol.phi)
     ax[0].set_ylabel(r'$\phi$')

     ax[1].plot(sol.N,sol.H)
     ax[1].set_yscale('log')
     ax[1].set_ylabel(r'$H$')

     ax[2].plot(sol.N,1/(sol.H*numpy.exp(sol.N)))
     ax[2].set_yscale('log')
     ax[2].set_ylabel(r'$1/aH$')

plt.show()
