          Contracting two basis elements gives 1 if the index for the basis elements is the same, and 0 otherwise. Holds for any color of index.

          For any object in the over color category, with source Fin n, has a decidable source.

          Vector slot component formulas (Color.up / Color.down) #

          The colors Color.up and Color.down are the standard Lorentz vector colors. The lemmas repr_ρ_basis_vector_up and repr_ρ_basis_vector_down are stated for Fin 4 indices (definitionally Fin (repDim Color.up) and Fin (repDim Color.down)).

          When a slot is only known up to c₀ = Color.up or Color.down, use repr_ρ_basis_vector_up_of_eq / repr_ρ_basis_vector_down_of_eq.

          Component formula for the standard contravariant vector slot Color.up.

          For b, i : Fin 4, the i-component of ρ Λ on basis Color.up b equals the corresponding entry of LorentzGroup.toComplex (SL2C.toLorentzGroup Λ) in Fin 1 ⊕ Fin 3 coordinates.

          Component formula for the standard covariant vector slot Color.down.

          For b, i : Fin 4, the i-component of ρ Λ on basis Color.down b matches the inverse complex Lorentz matrix as in Lorentz.complexCoBasis_ρ_apply (with transpose indexing on Fin 1 ⊕ Fin 3).
