Tensor[RaiseLowerSpinorIndices] - raise or lower a list of spinor indices using epsilon spinors
Calling Sequences
RaiseLowerSpinorIndices(S, Indices)
Parameters
S - a spinor or spinor-tensor
Indices - a list of integers, referring to the arguments of S
Description
Spinor indices are raised and lowed using the epsilon spinor.
Indices are lowered by contraction with the first index of the covariant epsilon spinor and raised by contraction with the second index of the contravariant epsilon spinor.
The command RaiseLowerSpinorIndices(S, Indices) will raise or lower the indices of the spinor S given by the list Indices.
Unlike the command RaiseLowerIndices for raising and lowering tensor indices, no metric need be specified.
This command is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-Tensor package, and so can be used in the form RaiseLowerSpinorIndices(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry); with(Tensor); in that order. It can always be used in the long form DifferentialGeometry:-Tensor:-RaiseLowerSpinorIndices.
Examples
Example 1.
First create a vector bundle M with base coordinates [x, y, z, t] and fiber coordinates [z1, z2, w1, w2].
Define a contravariant rank 1 spinor S1 and lower its indices, that is, convert it to a covariant rank 1 spinor.
Define the covariant epsilon spinor epsilon1 and check that this result coincides with the contraction of epsilon1 and S1.
Convert T1 back to a contravariant rank 1 spinor.
Example 2.
Define a rank 4 spinor-tensor S2 and raise its 2nd index and lower its 4th index.
