# Inflatox - multifield inflation consistency conditions in python

Inflatox provides utilities to compute slow-roll parameters and turn-rates for
two-field inflation models, based on the consistency condition from Generalised consistency condition
first presented in Anguelova & Lazaroiu (2023)[^1] and later generalised for the purposes of this package
in Wolters, Iarygina & Achúcarro (2024)[^3] [arXiv:2405.11628](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.11628).
The consistency conditions can be used in a parameter sweep of a two-field model to find
possible inflation trajectories.

## Features
- symbolic solver for components of the Hesse matrix of an inflationary model
with non-canonical kinetic terms, powered by [`sympy`](https://www.sympy.org).
- transpiler to transform `sympy` expressions into executable compiled (`C`) code.
- (experimental) support for special function transpilation using the GSL
- built-in multithreaded `rust` module for high-performance calculations of
consistency conditions that interfaces directly with `numpy` and python.
- utilities for performing parameter sweeps.
- extendability: inflatox' exposes a python interface to calculate any intermediate
quantity, which can be used to extend it with additional consistency conditions.
- no need to read, write or compile any `rust` or `C` code manually
(this is all done automatically behind the scenes).
- no system dependencies, everything needed to run the package can be automatically
installed by `pip`.

## Installation and Dependencies
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Inflatox requires at least python version `3.8`.

The latest version of inflatox can be installed using pip:
```console
pip install inflatox
```
Inflatox can be updated using:
```console
pip install --upgrade inflatox
```

## Example programme
The following code example shows how `inflatox` can be used to calculate the
potential and components of the Hesse matrix for a two-field hyperinflation model.
```python
#import inflatox
import inflatox
import sympy as sp
import numpy as np
sp.init_printing()

#define model
φ, θ, L, m, φ0 = sp.symbols('φ θ L m φ0')
fields = [φ, θ]

V = (1/2*m**2*(φ-φ0)**2).nsimplify()
g = [
[1, 0],
[0, L**2 * sp.sinh(φ/L)**2]
]

#print metric and potential
display(g, V)

#symbolic calculation
calc = inflatox.SymbolicCalculation.new(fields, g, V)
hesse = calc.execute()

#run the compiler
out = inflatox.Compiler(hesse).compile()

#evaluate the compiled potential and Hesse matrix
from inflatox.consistency_conditions import GeneralisedAL
anguelova = GeneralisedAL(out)

p = np.array([1.0, 1.0, 1.0])
x = np.array([2.0, 2.0])
print(anguelova.calc_V(x, p))
print(anguelova.calc_H(x, p))

extent = (-1, 1, -1, 1)
consistency_condition, epsilon_V, epsilon_H, eta_H, delta, omega =
anguelova.full_analysis(p, *extent)
```

## Special function support
Inflatox features (experimental) support for transpiling special functions from `scipy` to C using
the GSL library. The GSL (GNU Scientific Library) is not packaged together with inflatox due to its
conflicting license. Inflatox merely generates code that calls GSL functions, you must still provide
the headers and compiled shared libraries (`libgsl` and `libgslcblas`) yourself.

If you intend on using this feature, make sure that:
- The GSL is installed and can be found
- GSLCBLAS is installed and can be found
- The GSL headers are installed and can be found

Check out the documentation of the `Compiler` class for a list of currently supported special
functions, and the `docs.md` file for more technical details.
If you are experiencing any issues with the gsl feature (or if a special function you need is missing),
please [open an issue on github](https://github.com/smups/inflatox/issues) or contact the authors.

## Supported Architectures
