# LieTorch

This project provides a python package that expands the functionality of the PyTorch framework with PDE-based group equivariant CNN operators [[1]](#cite).


#### The name

The name LieTorch is a reference to the Norwegian mathematician [Sophus Lie](https://infogalactic.com/info/Sophus_Lie), whose contributions to geometry are extensively used in this project. The name is pronounced */li:/* (as in *Lee*) and not */ˈlī/* (as in *lie*).


## Installation

The version of LieTorch you install must match the installed PyTorch version per the following table.

| PyTorch version | LieTorch version |
| ---       | --- |
| 2.6+cu126 | 0.8 |
| 2.5       | 0.7 |
| 2.0       | 0.6 |
| 1.13      | 0.5 |
| 1.12      | 0.4 |


The following commands will install [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) and the _lietorch_ package in a fresh virtual environment.
Note that installing PyTorch via the Anaconda packages is deprecated since 2.6.
```shell
  conda create -n <environment name>
  conda activate <environment name>

  # install python and pip
  conda install python=3.13 pip

  # install PyTorch with pip
  pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126

  # and install lietorch with pip
  pip install lietorch
```
Make sure your [Nvidia drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx) are up to date!

## Container

Container images are available from https://github.com/bmnsmets/gldg-containers.
The `lietorch-ssh` image contains LieTorch and its dependencies as well as an SSH server (so you can connect to it via VS Code for example).
To pull the latest image:
```shell
  podman pull ghcr.io/bmnsmets/lietorch-ssh:latest
```
or if you are using Docker:
```shell
  docker pull ghcr.io/bmnsmets/lietorch-ssh:latest
```

## Neural network modules

Modules are grouped according to the manifold they operate on. Most modules have a functional equivalant in the `lietorch.nn.functional` namespace.
