Additional functionality to deal with indices

all_index_positions(ex: ExNode) -> Generator[Ex]

Generate all possible combinations of covariant and contravariant indices
ex := A_{\mu \nu \rho}. for var in all_index_positions(ex): var;
\(\displaystyle{}A_{\mu \nu \rho}\)
A_{\mu \nu \rho}
\(\displaystyle{}A_{\mu \nu}\,^{\rho}\)
A_{\mu \nu}^{\rho}
\(\displaystyle{}A_{\mu}\,^{\nu}\,_{\rho}\)
A_{\mu}^{\nu}_{\rho}
\(\displaystyle{}A_{\mu}\,^{\nu \rho}\)
A_{\mu}^{\nu \rho}

A^{\mu \nu}_{\rho}
\(\displaystyle{}A^{\mu \nu \rho}\)
A^{\mu \nu \rho}

replace_index(ex: Ex, top_name: str, old_index: str, new_index: str) -> Ex

Rename indices
Renames with \texttt{new_index} all occurences of indices named \texttt{old_index} in any subtree whose top node is named \texttt{top_name} \textbf{Note:} This is useful for avoiding triple index-repeated errors due to the presence of tensor idnices in the argument of the exponential function i.e. $\exp(\pm i k_\lambda x^\lambda)$
test := h_{\mu\nu} = A_{\mu\nu} \exp(i*k_\mu*x^{\mu}); test = replace_index(test,r"\exp",r'\mu',r'\alpha');
\(\displaystyle{}h_{\mu \nu} = A_{\mu \nu} \exp\left(i k_{\mu} x^{\mu}\right)\)
h_{\mu \nu} = A_{\mu \nu} \exp(i k_{\mu} x^{\mu})
\(\displaystyle{}h_{\mu \nu} = A_{\mu \nu} \exp\left(i k_{\alpha} x^{\alpha}\right)\)
h_{\mu \nu} = A_{\mu \nu} \exp(i k_{\alpha} x^{\alpha})

symmetrise_slots(ex: Ex, slots: list[int], antisym: bool = False)

Symmetrise or antisymmetrise an expression in the given slots
Given an expression, iterates over all top level terms and symmetrises the indices in the given \texttt{slots}, so that e.g. symmetrise_slots($A_{a b c}$, [0,1]) $\rightarrow$ $A_{a b c} + A_{b a c}$. For an expression containing a sum of terms, all terms in the expression are symmetrised.
ex1 := R_{a b c d}: symmetrise_slots(ex1, [0,1], True) symmetrise_slots(ex1, [2,3], True) symmetrise_slots(ex1, [0,2]) symmetrise_slots(ex1, [1,3]) sort_sum(ex1); R_{a b c d}::RiemannTensor. ex2 := 12 R_{a b c d}: young_project_tensor(ex2) sort_sum(ex2); assert ex1 == ex2
