DiracMatrix[mu]
denotes a Dirac gamma matrix with Lorentz index \mu.
DiracMatrix[mu , nu , ...]
is a product of \gamma matrices with Lorentz indices mu , nu , ...
DiracMatrix[5]
is \gamma ^5.
DiracMatrix[6]
is (1 + \gamma^5)/2.
DiracMatrix[7]
is (1 - \gamma^5)/2.
The shortcut DiracMatrix
is deprecated, please use GA
instead!
[\[Mu]] DiracMatrix
\bar{\gamma }^{\mu }
This is how to enter the non-commutative product of two. The Mathematica Dot “.” is used as non-commutative multiplication operator.
