.. _GfLegendre:

Matsubara Green's function with Legendre polynomials (GfLegendre)
=====================================================================================

This object stores a matrix-valued Matsubara Green's function in imaginary time using
Legendre polynomials. It is connected to the usual imaginary-time Matsubara Green's
function through:

.. math::
  G_{l, \alpha \beta} = \sqrt{2l+1} \int_0^\beta d\tau P_l (x(\tau)) G_{\alpha \beta}(\tau),


where :math:`x(\tau) = 2\tau/\beta -1` and the :math:`P_l` are the Legendre
polynomials.  :math:`G_{\alpha \beta}(\tau)` is the :ref:`Matsubara Green's
function in imaginary time <GfImTime>`.
