GSLRD

GSLRD[p,n,nb] denotes the perpendicular component in the lightcone decomposition of the slashed Dirac matrix (\gamma \cdot p) along the vectors n and nb in D dimensions. It corresponds to (\gamma \cdot p)_{\perp}.

If one omits n and nb, the program will use default vectors specified via $FCDefaultLightconeVectorN and $FCDefaultLightconeVectorNB.

Notice that the properties of n and nb vectors have to be set by hand before doing the actual computation

GSLRD[p, n, nb] . GSLPD[q, n, nb] // DiracSimplify

-\frac{1}{4} n^2 (\text{nb}\cdot q) (\gamma \cdot \;\text{nb}).\left(\gamma \cdot p_{\perp }\right)-\frac{1}{4} (n\cdot \;\text{nb}) (\text{nb}\cdot q) (\gamma \cdot n).\left(\gamma \cdot p_{\perp }\right)
