conmetderiv (expr, tensor)

Description

Simplifies expressions containing ordinary derivatives of both covariant and contravariant forms of the metric tensor (the current restriction). For example, conmetderiv can relate the derivative of the contravariant metric tensor with the Christoffel symbols as seen from the following:

(%i1) load(itensor);
(%o1)      /share/tensor/itensor.lisp
(%i2) ishow(g([],[a,b],c))$
                                      a b
(%t2)                                g
                                      ,c
(%i3) ishow(conmetderiv(%,g))$
                         %1 b      a       %1 a      b
(%t3)                 - g     ichr2     - g     ichr2
                                   %1 c              %1 c
