Momentum

Momentum[p] is the head of a four momentum p.

The internal representation of a 4-dimensional p is Momentum[p].

For other than 4 dimensions: Momentum[p, dim].

Momentum[p, 4] simplifies to Momentum[p].

Examples

This is a 4-dimensional momentum.

As an optional second argument the dimension must be specified if it is different from 4.
