Greetings,

When I run the following code through Cadabra

{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s#}::Indices.

eqtn := A^{f} A^{m} B_{g f} G^{a}_{m e} G^{e}_{b d}.

substitute (eqtn,$A^{e} B_{c e} G^{a}_{b d} -> A^{f} B_{f} R^{a}_{b c d}$);

it reports an exception: Triple index m inside a single factor found.

A triple m-index seems odd as there are only two m-indices in the expression (maybe an extra m-index pops up during the substitute).

This same code runs without error in Cadabra 1.16 and 1.41.

Cheers, Leo

Best answer

Caused by an optimisation in 2.x which had some unintentional side effects. Now fixed on github. Also fixes the other problem you reported (https://cadabra.science/qa/598/curious-behaviour-in-substitute).
