    Symmetric Function

    Usage

    Symmetric[{s1, ..., sn}] represents the symmetry of a tensor that is symmetric in the slots si.

    Basic examples

    This array is symmetric:
In[1]:=TensorSymmetry[{{{2, 9}, {9, 2}}, {{9, 2}, {2, 4}}}]
Out[1]=Symmetric[{1, 2, 3}]
Declare a rank-4 array to be symmetric in three slots:
In[1]:=$Assumptions=A element Arrays[{4, 4, 4, 4}, Reals, Symmetric[{1, 2, 4}]];
Then any transposition involving those slots is equivalent to the original tensor:
In[2]:=TensorTranspose[A, Cycles[{{2, 4}}]]//TensorReduce
Out[2]=A
