FeynCalc manual (development version)

GSE

GSE[p] can be used as input for a D-4-dimensional \gamma \cdot p = \gamma^\mu p_\mu and is transformed into DiracGamma[Momentum[p,D-4],D-4] by FeynCalcInternal (FCI). GSE[p,q, ...] is a short form for GSE[p].GSE[q]. ....

Examples

GSE[p]

\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{p}

GSE[p] // FCI // StandardForm

(*DiracGamma[Momentum[p, -4 + D], -4 + D]*)
GSE[p, q, r, s]

\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{p}\right).\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{q}\right).\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{r}\right).\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{s}\right)

GSE[p, q, r, s] // StandardForm

(*GSE[p] . GSE[q] . GSE[r] . GSE[s]*)
GSE[q] . (GSE[p] + m) . GSE[q]

\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{q}\right).\left(m+\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{p}\right).\left(\hat{\gamma }\cdot \hat{q}\right)

In order to use Dirac algebra with D-4 dimensional objects you need to activate the t’Hooft-Veltman-Breitenlohner-Maison scheme first
