22.8 The CVIT algorithm

An alternative algorithm for computing traces of products of gamma matrices is available, based on treating of gamma-matrices as 3-j symbols (details may be found in [IKRT89, Ken82]).

This alternative algorithm is used when the switch cvit is set to on. With cvit off, calculations of Diracs matrices traces are performed using standard REDUCE facilities.

For more information see section D.2.
