Examples

FVE[p, \[Mu]]

\hat{p}^{\mu }

FVE[p - q, \[Mu]]

\left(\hat{p}-\hat{q}\right)^{\mu }

FVE[p, \[Mu]] // StandardForm

(*FVE[p, \[Mu]]*)
FCI[FVE[p, \[Mu]]] // StandardForm

(*Pair[LorentzIndex[\[Mu], -4 + D], Momentum[p, -4 + D]]*)

There is no special function to expand momenta in FVE.

ex = ExpandScalarProduct[FVE[p - q, \[Mu]]]

\hat{p}^{\mu }-\hat{q}^{\mu }

ex // StandardForm

(*Pair[LorentzIndex[\[Mu], -4 + D], Momentum[p, -4 + D]] - Pair[LorentzIndex[\[Mu], -4 + D], Momentum[q, -4 + D]]*)
Contract[FVE[p, \[Mu]] FV[q, \[Mu]]]
