tensor[raise] - raise a covariant index
tensor[lower] - lower a contravariant index
Calling Sequence
raise(contravariant_metric_tensor, A, i1, i2, ... )
lower(covariant_metric_tensor, A, i1, i2, ... )
Parameters
contravariant_metric_tensor
-
metric tensors used to raise the indices
covariant_metric_tensor
metric tensors used to lower the indices
A
tensor by which to raise/lower the indices
i1, ...
non-empty sequence of indices of A to raise/lower
Description
The function raise(con_met, A, 2, 3) computes the tensor A with indices 2 and 3 raised using the contravariant metric con_met.
The function lower(cov_met, A, 1, 4) computes the tensor A with indices 1 and 4 lowered using the covariant metric cov_met.
Each index in the call to raise must be a valid covariant index of A.
Each index in the call to lower must be a valid contravariant index of A.
There must be at least 1 index given and the number of indices cannot exceed the rank of A.
Simplification: These routines use the `tensor/prod/simp` routine for simplification purposes. The simplification routine is applied to each component of the result after it is computed. By default, `tensor/prod/simp` is initialized to the `tensor/simp` routine. It is recommended that the `tensor/prod/simp` routine be customized to suit the needs of the particular problem.
These functions are part of the tensor package, and so can be used in the form raise(..) / lower(..) only after performing the command with(tensor), or with(tensor, raise) / with(tensor, lower). These functions can always be accessed in the long form tensor[raise](..) / tensor[lower](..).

contravariant Euclidean 3-space metric in spherical-polar coordinates:
create a mixed 2-tensor, raise one index, then lower the other
