Dear ALPS community, Just informing you that we change the compiler to gnu4.4 with alps 1.3.5, it works well on the cluster. Thanks for your help.

"fulldiag": Can it handle magnetic field coupled to a non-conserved quantity?
by Itamar Kimchi 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hi all, I'm new to ALPS, but before I try to learn how to use it, I wanted to resolve an ambiguity in the documentation to figure out whether it's applicable to my problem. I want to find the magnetic susceptibility for a spin system, where the magnetic field h couples to Sz_tot as usual. However, I wish to use a Hamiltonian that does not commute with Sz_tot, hence does not leave it conserved. In the fulldiag "documentation" file http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Documentation:FullDiagonaliza… there is a red warning claiming that I cannot use fulldiag if Sz_tot is not conserved. However, this documentation looks like it's two years old. The new tutorial, at http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/ALPS_2_Tutorials:ED-06_FullDi… has no such warning, but it only gives an example for calculating the susceptibility for a Heisenberg Hamiltonian, which conserves Sz_tot. Do you know if I can use fulldiag (or anything else) if my Sz_tot is not conserved? Thanks! Itamar

Dear ALPS community, We are trying to use SSE to study 3D BoseGlass, our input file is the following: LATTICE_LIBRARY="lattices.xml"; LATTICE="inhomogeneous simple cubic lattice"; L=2; W=2; H=2; MODEL_LIBRARY="models.xml"; MODEL="hardcore boson"; t = 1.0; T = 0.2; SWEEPS=500000; THERMALIZATION=10000; {DISORDERSEED = 34275; mu=delta*2*(random()-0.5);} {delta=0.0} {delta=1.0} {delta=2.0} {delta=3.0} {delta=4.0} {delta=5.0} . The "parameter2xml input" step is fine, but after doing "dirloop_sse ", it says"too many positional options". We do know how to solve this problem. We also tried the example of 2D BoseGlass model in the ALPS wiki webpage, the code of worm algorithm is LATTICE_LIBRARY="../lattices.xml"; LATTICE="inhomogeneous square lattice"; L=4; MODEL_LIBRARY="../models.xml"; MODEL="boson Hubbard"; NONLOCAL=0; U = 1.0; Nmax = 2; t = 1.0; T = 0.1; delta = 5.0; SWEEPS=500000; THERMALIZATION=10000; { DISORDERSEED = 34275; mu=delta*2*(random()-0.5); } { DISORDERSEED = 49802; mu=delta*2*(random()-0.5); } { DISORDERSEED = 82529; mu=delta*2*(random()-0.5); } , we just use the same code but for SSE, and meet the same "too many positional options" problem. It seems one should modify the input file, but we don't know how. Thank you in advance.

Ben, you may want to take a look at the ALPS documentation and also the extensive set of online tutorials.

I'm looking to begin using DMRG to find the ground state of a Hamiltonian, subject to the restriction that the state is a matrix product state of small, known bond dimension.
