Green's functions
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Green's functions are among the most important objects when dealing with
|
|
many-body problems. TRIQS makes it easy for you to manipulate them. Before
|
|
starting with some example, let us readily emphasize the essential notion
|
|
that Green's functions have a **block** structure:
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
G^a_{\alpha_a \beta_a} (\tau) = - \mathcal{T} <c^a_{\alpha_a}(\tau) c^{a \dagger}_{\beta_a} (0)>
|
|
|
|
Here, :math:`a` labels a block, while :math:`\alpha_a, \beta_a` are indices
|
|
**within** the block :math:`a`. In other words, there can be off-diagonal
|
|
elements within a block but not between blocks. Whenever possible, one should
|
|
take advantage of the symmetries of the problem under consideration and define
|
|
blocks for the Green's functions.
|
|
|
|
In this documentation, we will start with the block Green's function,
|
|
and then proceed with the general Green's function and its block structure.
