Check EB conventions #9

Open jasonmcewen opened 7 years ago

It would be good to check we're all using the same EB conventions.

There appear to be some differences in conventions used between the CMB and weak lensing communities. See, e.g., Zaldarriaga & Seljak 1997 and Castro, Heavens & Kitching 2005, respectively, for the conventions adopted by the different communities.

We've tried to summarise these in some of our recent works (e.g., Leistedt et al. 2015, 2016, Wallis et al. 2017). For a quick recap, see section 2.1 and 2.2 of Leistedt et al. 2016 (arXiv:1605.01414) for the differences between: $E, B, \epsilon, \beta, \varphi^E, \varphi^B, \phi^E, \phi^B$.
