pomerol is an exact diagonalization (full ED) code written in C++ aimed at solving condensed matter second-quantized models of interacting fermions and bosons on finite size lattices at finite temperatures. It is designed to compute thermal expectation values of observables, single- and two-particle Green’s functions as well as susceptibilities.

Features

  • High performance exact calculation of Green’s functions, two-particle Green’s functions and susceptibilities in Matsubara domain.
  • Many-body Hamiltonians can be specified in a natural mathematical form using libcommute’s Domain-Specific Language. Hamiltonian presets for commonly used lattice models are also available.
  • Automatic symmetry analysis of the many-body Hamiltonians drastically reduces computational costs.
  • Eigen 3 template library is used for numerical linear algebra.
  • MPI + OpenMP support.

Installation

From source

  • Check the dependencies:

    • A C++11 conformant compiler
    • CMake >= 3.11.0
    • Boost >= 1.54.0 (only headers are required)
    • Eigen >= 3.1.0
    • libcommute >= 0.7.2 (will be downloaded by CMake if not found installed locally)
    • An MPI 3.0 implementation
    • Git to fetch the sources

  • Download the latest sources:

    git clone https://github.com/pomerol-ed/pomerol.git

  • Create a (temporary) build directory and change to it:

    mkdir build && cd build

  • In this build directory, run

    cmake <path_to_pomerol_sources> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_path>
    • CMake tries to find an installation of libcommute, whose location can be specified by adding -Dlibcommute_DIR=<libcommute_installation_path>/lib/cmake/libcommute to the command line. If this attempt fails, it will download an appropriate version of libcommute and co-install it alongside pomerol.
    • Add -DTesting=OFF to disable compilation of unit tests (not recommended).
    • Add -DProgs=ON to compile provided executables (from progs directory). Some of the executables depend on the gftools library, which will be automatically downloaded in case it cannot be found by CMake (use -Dgftools_DIR to specify its installation path). gftools supports saving to HDF5 through ALPSCore.
    • Add -DDocumentation=OFF to disable generation of reference documentation.
    • Add -DUSE_OPENMP=OFF to disable OpenMP optimization for two-particle GF calculation.
    • Add -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to compile static instead of shared libraries.
  • make
  • make test (if unit tests are compiled)
  • make install
  • make doc generates the Doxygen reference documentation in the doc/html subdirectory.

The library, libpomerol is built. It can be used for linking with executables. Some working executables are given in prog subdirectory.

:warning: It has been reported that some MPICH-based MPI implementations, such as HPE Cray MPI may not properly support MPI_CXX_* datatypes, which pomerol’s code depends on. In case you see failing MPI unit tests when linking to said MPI libraries, try using CMake option -DUse_MPI_C_datatypes=ON.

Interfacing with your own code and other libraries

Check the tutorial directory for an example of a pomerol-based code that is linked to external libraries.

The interface to TRIQS library is readily available: https://github.com/pomerol-ed/pomerol2triqs.

Documentation

Check https://pomerol-ed.github.io/pomerol/html/ or type make doc during compilation stage to build the reference documentation.
