LattLib

Freely usable reference code for prototyping lattice field theory calculations and analysis. All code contained in this repository is covered by the CC0 license, allowing one to freely copy, modify, or distribute anything contained herein, including for commerical purposes. Attribution not required.

Scope of the project

This repository provides ...

• A set of Mathematica tools for simple analysis and plotting (mathlib/, also available in paclet form).
• A set of Python tools for simple analysis and plotting (pylib/).
• Several libraries with useful functions for MCMC sampling and observable measurements in particular theories (gauge_theory/, scalar_field/, ...).
• A set of executable Python scripts that expose simulation and measurement functions for various theories (pybin/). These scripts generally assume the root repository directory is on the Python path.

Non-scope of the project

Code in this repository is intended to serve as a basis for simple prototyping and explorations in low-dimensional theories, thus implementations are generally not optimized, parallelized, or distributed.

This code is also provided as-is, without guarantees of any kind. Use at your own risk.
