for the Kondo model. It generates the '#!fields', '#!virtual_fields', '#!identities', '#!groups', '#!propagator', '#!input_polynomial' and '#!id_table' entries from special '#!propagator', '#!input_polynomial' and '#!id_table' entries, which are much more synthetic than those needed for the Kondo model.
The quantities in the configuration file are expressed in terms of the observables A and B, which we do not define here, as well as the magnetic field h.

.Nm
is part of a set of tools to compute and manipulate Fermionic hierarchical flows:
.Bl-bullet
.It
.Symeankondo
: computes flow equations for hierarchical Fermionic models
: perform various operations on flow equations (differentiation, products, sums, exponentials and logarithms of flow equations, evaluation and conversion to other formats).
The dimension of the field theory for the Kondo model (defaults to 2), including imaginary time (2 if the Fermionic chain is not neglected, 1 if it is). This parameter is used to determine how many boxes contribute to each scale in the hierarchical model: id the dimension is 2, then there are 4 boxes, whereas if it is 1, then there are 2.

.ShCONFIGURATIONFILE
.Nm
reads a configuration file, that can either be passed as a command line argument or to stdin, which specifies the model for which to compute the flow equation.
.Pp
A configuration file is a list of entries, separated by a '&' character, each of which has a title (or header), which is preceded by '#!'. Note that '#!' must be at the beginning of a line in order to be read correctly.
.Pp
Whenever the '#' character is encountered, the rest of the line is treated as a comment and ignored (unless it is followed by '!').
.Pp
As a general rule, spaces and line breaks in the entries of the configuration file are ignored, so they may be used at the user's discretion. The few entries that require that no extra line breaks be inserted are explicitly mentioned below.
.Pp
.Nm
recognizes the following entries (unless explicitly mentioned, the entries below are mandatory) (entries may be provided in any order) (any extra entries in the configuration file are ignored):
.Bl-tag-widthDs
.ItSy#!input_polynomial
The polynomial whose mean we wish to compute in order to calculate the flow equation.
.Pp
The format of the polynomial is similar to that in
.SxmeankondoNs(1),
up to the following differences.
.Bl-bullet
.It
The fields can be specified as scalar products of A's and B's. For each n in {1,...,dimension},
The difference between '[f #.#]' and '<#.#>' is that the former corresponds to a '#!virtual_fields' entry whereas the latter is replaced by its corresponding polynomial when
A vector 't=(t1,t2,t3)' of Pauli matrices (satisfying the Pauli commutation relations [ti,tj]=\\delta_{i,j}1+\\epsilon_{i,j,k}tk) is introduced as a non-commuting object. It can be used in scalar producs:
Furthermore, in order to simplify writing products of polynomials over each box index, if the polynomial contains a '%', then
.Nm
multiplies the polynomial by itself as many times as there are boxes (2^dimension times), replacing '%' with the appropriate box index. For example, if dimension=1
.D1'[fA%.A%]+[fB%.B%]'
is equivalent to
.D1'[fA1.A1]+[fB1.B1]*[fA2.A2]+[fB2.B2]'.
.El
.Pp
Example:
.D1(1)+(1/2)[l1][fA1.A1]+(1/2)[l2][fB1.h]
.D1*(1)+(1/2)[l2][fA2.A2]+(1/2)[l2][fB2.h]
.Pp
.ItSy#!id_table
The idtable used to identify the running coupling constants.
If there is a '#!virtual_fields' or an '#!identities' entry in the configuration file, then they are appended to the end of those entries in the new configuration file.
