wolfram-mathematica - Mathematica 中的虚拟索引和约束

Question

我希望 Mathematica 根据某些约束简化表达式。例如：

M = p.k p.k

给定约束：

p(mu) * p(nu) = \delta(mu,nu)

应该给

M = k^2

但我不知道如何指定虚拟索引，我也不太确定应该将约束本身放在哪里。在简化？

In[1]:= FilePrint["dummyindices.m"]
<<HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc`
Print[" "];
{$AL[1], $AL[2]} = {mu, nu};  (* $AL are predefined dummy indices *)
M = SP[p,k] * SP[p,k];        (* this defines p.k * p.k *)
SP[k, k] = k2;                (* abbreviate the scalar product k^2 by k2 *)
constraint = FeynCalcInternal[ 
               FourVector[p,mu] FourVector[p,nu] -> MetricTensor[mu, nu] 
];       (* this is one way of specifying the constraint *)
(* use the Uncontract function http://www.feyncalc.org/FeynCalcBook/Uncontract/*)
Print["uncontracting : ", FCF[ tmp = Uncontract[M, k, Pair->All, Unique->False]]];
Print["contract and using the constraint : ",
       FeynCalcExternal @ Contract[tmp /. constraint]
]
