Description

primordial is a python package for solving cosmological inflationary equations.

It is very much in beta stage, and currently being built for research purposes.

Example Usage

Plot Background evolution

import numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from primordial.solver import solve
from primordial.equations.inflation_potentials import ChaoticPotential
from primordial.equations.t.inflation import Equations, KD_initial_conditions
from primordial.equations.events import Inflation, Collapse

fig, ax = plt.subplots(3,sharex=True)
for K in [-1, 0, +1]:
     m = 1
     V = ChaoticPotential(m)
     equations = Equations(K, V)

     events= [Inflation(equations),                    # Record inflation entry and exit
              Inflation(equations, -1, terminal=True), # Stop on inflation exit
              Collapse(equations, terminal=True)]      # Stop if universe stops expanding

     N_p = -1.5
     phi_p = 23
     t_p = 1e-5
     ic = KD_initial_conditions(t_p, N_p, phi_p)
     t = numpy.logspace(-5,10,1e6)

     sol = solve(equations, ic, t_eval=t, events=events)

     ax[0].plot(sol.N(t),sol.phi(t))
     ax[0].set_ylabel(r'$\phi$')

     ax[1].plot(sol.N(t),sol.H(t))
     ax[1].set_yscale('log')
     ax[1].set_ylabel(r'$H$')

     ax[2].plot(sol.N(t),1/(sol.H(t)*numpy.exp(sol.N(t))))
     ax[2].set_yscale('log')
     ax[2].set_ylabel(r'$1/aH$')

ax[-1].set_xlabel('$N$')

Plot mode function evolution

import numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from primordial.solver import solve
from primordial.equations.inflation_potentials import ChaoticPotential
from primordial.equations.t.mukhanov_sasaki import Equations, KD_initial_conditions
from primordial.equations.events import Inflation, Collapse, ModeExit

fig, axes = plt.subplots(3,sharex=True)
for ax, K in zip(axes, [-1, 0, +1]):
    ax2 = ax.twinx()
    m = 1
    V = ChaoticPotential(m)
    k = 100
    equations = Equations(K, V, k)

    events= [
            Inflation(equations),                    # Record inflation entry and exit
            Collapse(equations, terminal=True),      # Stop if universe stops expanding
            ModeExit(equations, +1, terminal=True, value=1e1*k)   # Stop on mode exit
            ]


    N_p = -1.5
    phi_p = 23
    t_p = 1e-5
    ic = KD_initial_conditions(t_p, N_p, phi_p)
    t = numpy.logspace(-5,10,1e6)

    sol = solve(equations, ic, t_eval=t, events=events)

    N = sol.N(t)
    ax.plot(N,sol.R1(t), 'k-')
    ax2.plot(N,-numpy.log(sol.H(t))-N, 'b-')

    ax.set_ylabel('$\mathcal{R}$')
    ax2.set_ylabel('$-\log aH$')

    ax.text(0.9, 0.9, r'$K=%i$' % K, transform=ax.transAxes)

axes[-1].set_xlabel('$N$')

To do list

Eventually would like to submit this to JOSS. Here are things to do before then:

Cosmology

  • Slow roll initial conditions

  • Mukhanov Sazaki evolution in \(N\)

  • add \(\eta\) as independent variable

  • add \(\phi\) as independent variable

Code

  • Documentation

  • Tests
    • 100% coverage

    • interpolation

    • cosmology
