ImplicitSUNFIndex
is a data type. It mainly applies to
names of quantum fields specifying that the corresponding field carries
an implicit SU(N) index in the
fundamental representation.
This information can be supplied e.g. via
DataType[QuarkField, ImplicitSUNFIndex] = True
, where
QuarkField
is a possible name of the relevant field.
The ImplicitSUNFIndex
property becomes relevant when
simplifying noncommutative products involving QuantumField
s
via ExpandPartialD
, DotSimplify
.

Now we let FeynCalc know that AntiQuarkField
and
QuarkField
carry an implicit color index that connects them
to the color matrix.
