Hi,

I'm trying to work out whether or not Maple will be able to help me out with some algebra involving lots of indices, but I can't seem to work out how the gauge indices features work in the Physics package. For example I would like to define a gauge field carrying an SU(3) index and a spacetime index. The SU(3) index should run from 1 to 8 and the spacetime index from 1 to 5. I think I have worked out how it works with spacetime indices but I can't seem to find any documentation on the gauge indices.

Is there are a way to set the "dimension" of the gauge index, like we can set the space time dimension?

 

Cheers
