<!-- # torch-harmonics: differentiable harmonic transforms -->

<!-- ## What is torch-harmonics? -->

`torch_harmonics` is a differentiable implementation of the Spherical Harmonic transform in PyTorch. It uses quadrature rules to compute the projection onto the associated Legendre polynomials and FFTs for the projection onto the harmonic basis. This algorithm tends to outperform others with better asymptotic scaling for most practical purposes.

`torch_harmonics` uses PyTorch primitives to implement these operations, making it fully differentiable. Moreover, the quadrature can be distributed onto multiple ranks making it spatially distributed.

`torch_harmonics` has been used to implement a variety of differentiable PDE solvers which generated the animations below. Moreover, it has enabled the development of spherical Fourier Neural Operators (SFNOs).

## Implementation
The implementation follows the algorithm as presented in [2].

### Spherical harmonic transform

The truncated series expansion of a function $f$ defined on the surface of a sphere can be written as

$$
f(\theta, \lambda) = \sum_{m=-M}^{M} \exp(im\lambda) \sum_{n=|m|}^{M} F_n^m \bar{P}_n^m (\cos \theta),
$$

where $\theta$ is the colatitude, $\lambda$ the longitude, $\bar{P}_n^m$ the normalized, associated Legendre polynomials and $F_n^m$, the expansion coefficient associated to the mode $(m,n)$.

A direct spherical harmonic transform can be accomplished by a Fourier transform

$$
F^m(\theta) = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} f(\theta, \lambda) \exp(-im\lambda)  \mathrm{d}\lambda
$$

in longitude and a Legendre transform

$$
F_n^m = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-1}^1 F^m(\theta) \bar{P}_n^m(\cos \theta)  \mathrm{d} \cos \theta
$$

in latitude.

### Discrete Legendre transform

in order to apply the Legendre transfor, we shall use Gauss-Legendre points in the latitudinal direction. The integral

$$
F_n^m = \int_{0}^\pi F^m(\theta) \bar{P}_n^m(\cos \theta) \sin \theta \mathrm{d} \theta
$$

is approximated by the sum

$$
F_n^m = \sum_{j=1}^{N_\theta} F^m(\theta_j) \bar{P}_n^m(\cos \theta_j) w_j
$$

## Usage

### Getting started

The main functionality of `torch_harmonics` is provided in the form of `torch.nn.Modules` for composability. A minimum example is given by:

```python
import torch
import torch_harmonics as th

device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')

nlat = 512
nlon = 2*nlat
batch_size = 32
signal = torch.randn(batch_size, nlat, nlon)

# transform data on an equiangular grid
sht = th.RealSHT(nlat, nlon, grid="equiangular").to(device).float()

coeffs = sht(signal)
```

`torch_harmonics` also implements a distributed variant of the SHT located in `torch-harmonics.distributed`.
