Gordon identities #64

Closed vsht closed 4 years ago

vsht commented 4 years ago

GordonSimplify is a routine for applying Gordon identities to suitable spinor chains of vector or axial-vector current type.

Some comments regarding the additional identities.

Stuff like

SpinorUBar[p, m].GA[5].SpinorU[p, m] == 0
SpinorVBar[p, m].GA[5].SpinorV[p, m] == 0

is straightforward to add, but in D-dims only when using NDR.

But for identities similar to SpinorUBar[p, m].GA[mu].SpinorU[p, m] == FV[p, mu]/m SpinorUBar[p, m].SpinorU[p, m] we need a separate option: In some cases (e.g. when doing matching) one may not want to trade a vector current for a scalar current.
