GSLPD

GSLPD[p,n,nb] denotes the positive 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 \frac{1}{2} (\bar{n} \cdot p) (\gamma \cdot n).

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

Examples

GSLPD[p, n, nb]

\frac{1}{2} \gamma \cdot n (\text{nb}\cdot p)

StandardForm[GSLPD[p, n, nb] // FCI]

\frac{1}{2} \;\text{DiracGamma}[\text{Momentum}[n,D],D] \;\text{Pair}[\text{Momentum}[\text{nb},D],\text{Momentum}[p,D]]

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

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

\frac{1}{4} n^2 (\text{nb}\cdot p) (\text{nb}\cdot q)
