GALND[mu,n,nb]
denotes the negative component in the lightcone decomposition of the Dirac matrix \gamma^{\mu } along the vectors n
and nb
in D-dimensions. It corresponds to \frac{1}{2} n^{\mu} (\gamma \cdot \bar{n}).
If one omits n
and nb
, the program will use default vectors specified via $FCDefaultLightconeVectorN
and $FCDefaultLightconeVectorNB
.
