It generates the '#!fields', '#!symbols', '#!identities', '#!groups', '#!propagator', '#!input_polynomial' and '#!id_table' entries from special '#!propagator', '#!input_polynomial' and '#!id_table' entries, which are much more synthetic than those needed for the Kondo model. +.Pp +The quantities in the configuration file are expressed in terms of the observables A and B, which we do not define here, as well as the magnetic field h. +.Pp +.Nm +is part of a set of tools to compute and manipulate Fermionic hierarchical flows: +.Bl -bullet +.It +.Sy meankondo +: computes flow equations for hierarchical Fermionic models +.It +.Sy numkondo +: numerical evaluation of flow equations. +.It +.Sy meantools, meantools-convert +: perform various operations on flow equations (derivation, exponentiation, evaluation and conversion to other formats). +.El +.Pp +as well as the following pre-processors, which generate configuration files for their associated model: +.Bl -bullet +.It +.Sy kondo_proprocess +: Kondo model +.El +.Pp +.Sh COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENTS +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl d Ar dimension +The dimension of the field theory for the Kondo model (defaults to 2), including imaginary time (2 if the Fermionic chain is not neglected, 1 if it is). This parameter is used to determine how many boxes contribute to each scale in the hierarchical model: id the dimension is 2, then there are 4 boxes, whereas if it is 1, then there are 2. +.It Fl v +Print version information and exit. +.El +.Pp +.Sh CONFIGURATION FILE +.Nm +reads a configuration file, that can either be passed as a command line argument or to stdin, which specifies the model for which to compute the flow equation. +.Pp +A configuration file is a list of entries, separated by a '&' character, each of which has a title (or header), which is preceded by '#!'. Note that '#!' must be at the beginning of a line in order to be read correctly. +.Pp +Whenever the '#' character is encountered, the rest of the line is treated as a comment and ignored (unless it is followed by '!'). +.Pp +As a general rule, spaces and line breaks in the entries of the configuration file are ignored, so they may be used at the user's discretion. The few entries that require that no extra line breaks be inserted are explicitly mentioned below. +.Pp +.Nm +recognizes the following entries (unless explicitly mentioned, the entries below are mandatory) (entries may be provided in any order) (any extra entries in the configuration file are ignored): +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Sy #!input_polynomial +The polynomial whose mean we wish to compute in order to calculate the flow equation. +.Pp +The format of the polynomial is similar to that in +.Sx meankondo Ns (1) , +up to the following differences. +.Bl -bullet +.It +The fields can be specified as scalar products of A's and B's. For each n in {1,...,dimension}, +.Nm +defines An and Bn, as well as symbols for scalar products of the form +.D1 [f An.An] +.D1 [f Bn.Bn] +.D1 [f An.Bn] +.D1 [f An.h] +.D1 [f Bn.h] +In addition, a vector product symbol is defined for (AnxBn).h : +.D1 [f AnxBn.h] +.Pp +.It +In addition, +.Nm +defines external fields for A and B, denoted by a and b. They can be used as fields in the input polynomial using the syntax +.D1 <a.a> +.D1 <b.b> +.D1 <a.b> +.D1 <a.h> +.D1 <b.h> +.D1 <axb.h> +.Pp +.It +Furthermore, in order to simplify writing products of polynomials over each box index, if the polynomial contains a '%', then +.Nm +multiplies the polynomial by itself as many times as there are boxes (2^dimension times), replacing '%' with the appropriate box index. For example, if dimension=1 +.D1 '[fA%.A%]+[fB%.B%]' +is equivalent to +.D1 '[fA1.A1]+[fB1.B1] * [fA2.A2]+[fB2.B2]'. +.El +.Pp +Example: +.D1 (1) + (1/2)[l1][fA1.A1] + (1/2)[l2][fB1.h] +.D1 * (1) + (1/2)[l2][fA2.A2] +(1/2)[l2][fB2.h] +.Pp +.It Sy #!id_table +The idtable used to identify the running coupling constants. +.Pp +The idtable has the same syntax as that in +.Sx meankondo Ns (1) , +in which the polynomial can use the fields +.D1 <a.a> +.D1 <b.b> +.D1 <a.b> +.D1 <a.h> +.D1 <b.h> +.D1 <axb.h> +defined above. +.Pp +Example: +.D1 1:(1/2)<a.a>, 2:(2)<b.h> +.Pp +.It Sy #!propagator +The propagator of the model. +.Pp +The propagator syntax differs from +.Sx meankondo Ns (1) , +in that the field indices are specified using An and Bn. +.Pp +Example: +.D1 A1;A2: 1 , A2;A1: -1 , B1;B2: s{-1} , B2;B1: (-1)s{-1} +.Pp +.It Sy extra entries +If there is a '#!symbols' or an '#!identities' entry in the configuration file, then they are appended to the end of those entries in the new configuration file. +.Pp +Any other entry is appended to the new configuration file. This can be useful to pipe the output to tools other than +.Sy meankondo +(e.g. +.Sy meantools ) . +.Pp +.Sh OUTPUT +.Nm +prints the configuration file to stdout. +.Pp +The output of +.Nm +can be piped into +.Sy meankondo +directly. +.Pp +.Sh RETURN CODE +.Nm +returns 0 on success and -1 on error. +.Pp +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Sx meankondo Ns (1) , +.Sx numkondo Ns (1) , +.Sx meantools Ns (1) , +.Sx meantools-convert Ns (1) +.Pp |
