Identity Reindexing of Complexified Levi-Civita Index Colors
The identity map is a valid reindexing that relates the colors of the complexified real Levi-Civita tensor to the sequence of four complex contravariant Lorentz indices. Specifically, if is the sequence of four contravariant colors for a real Lorentz tensor and is the mapping `colorToComplex`, then the identity map satisfies the reindexing property between the complexified colors and the sequence of four complex contravariant colors .
Rank-4 complex Lorentz Levi-Civita tensor with
The Levi-Civita tensor is a rank-4 contravariant complex Lorentz tensor, an element of the tensor space . It is defined as the complexification of the real Lorentz Levi-Civita tensor, mapping its real components into the complex field. Its components are determined by the sign of the permutation of the indices , specifically satisfying , and it is totally antisymmetric under the exchange of any two indices.
Notation for the complex Lorentz Levi-Civita tensor
The notation denotes the complex Lorentz Levi-Civita tensor, which is a tensor with four contravariant indices, an element of the tensor space .
The rank-4 complex contravariant Levi-Civita tensor is equal to the tensor constructed from rational components where the real part is the generalized Kronecker delta and the imaginary part is zero. Here, the indices range over , and the generalized Kronecker delta represents the Levi-Civita symbol.
