DiracSigma

DiracSigma[a, b] stands for I/2(a.b-b.a) in 4 dimensions.

a and b must have head DiracGamma, GA or GS. Only antisymmetry is implemented.

Examples

DiracSigmaExplicit[%]

\sigma ^{\alpha \beta }

\frac{1}{2} i \left(\bar{\gamma }^{\alpha }.\bar{\gamma }^{\beta }-\bar{\gamma }^{\beta }.\bar{\gamma }^{\alpha }\right)

DiracSigma[GA[\[Beta]], GA[\[Alpha]]]

-\sigma ^{\alpha \beta }

DiracSigma[GS[p], GS[q]] 
 
DiracSigmaExplicit[%]

\sigma ^{pq}

\frac{1}{2} i \left(\left(\bar{\gamma }\cdot \overline{p}\right).\left(\bar{\gamma }\cdot \overline{q}\right)-\left(\bar{\gamma }\cdot \overline{q}\right).\left(\bar{\gamma }\cdot \overline{p}\right)\right)

The antisymmetry property is built-in
