Hi, what do you mean by simplifying Levi-Civita contractions with other vectors? How would you write something simpler than that? |

Hello FeynCalc team and FeynCalc users!.
I can simplify the contractions of four-vectors by explicitly defining the corresponding scalar products. But I am unable to simplify expressions involving contractions of Levi-Civita tensor with 4 four-vectors. Can someone please help me on how to simplify such expressions?
For Example,

could be simplified to
by explicitly defining the scalar products of momenta and polarization vectors and then contracting the FCFAConvert amplitude. But, still the Levi-Civita contractions remain unsimplified. I have tried to explicitly define the Levi-Civita contractions with other vectors using the Contract[....] function, that didn't work out. When defining by the Contract[..] function, I can obtain the contraction result for say
Contract[LC[[Mu], [Nu], [Rho], [Sigma]] FV[k1, [Mu]] FV[
k2, [Nu]] Polarization[k1, -I] Polarization[p2, I]]
in the correct simplified form, but the Contract[FCFAAmplitude[..]] didn't work and still shows unsimplified expressions of the Levi-Civita contractions....
I am using FeynCal 10.0.0 (dev. version) and Mathematica 12.1.
Hope you can help me. Thank you.
