$LeviCivitaSign
is a global variable that determines the sign in the result of a Dirac trace of four gamma matrices and \gamma^5. $LeviCivitaSign
is by default set to -1
which corresponds to the convention TR[LC[a,b,c,d,5]] = -4*I*Eps[a,b,c,d]
. Setting $LeviCivitaSign=-I
will switch to the FORM-convention.

-1
-4 i \bar{\epsilon }^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma }
This sets the same convention as in FORM
= -I;

[GA[\[Mu], \[Nu], \[Rho], \[Sigma], 5]] // DiracSimplify DiracTrace
4 \bar{\epsilon }^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma }
