FCChargeConjugateTransposed

FCChargeConjugateTransposed[exp] represents the application of the charge conjugation operator to the transposed of exp, i.e. C^{-1} \;\text{exp}^T C. Here exp is understood to be a single Dirac matrix or a chain thereof. The option setting Explicit determines whether the explicit result is returned or whether it is left in the unevaluated form.The unevaluated form will be also maintained if the function does not know how to obtain C^{-1} \;\text{exp}^T C from the given exp.

The shortcut for FCChargeConjugateTransposed is FCCCT.
