Hi everyone,
I am trying to work with component-tensor-valued forms mixing  xTerior and xCoba commands. I have found a difficulty when operating Simplification on these objects.   

This led me to think that perhaps I am not doing things in the right way. I attach a short example with the problem. Any help will be appreciated! 

Regards, 
Max

Hi Max,

the following should do the trick:

Quiet@
Map[ToCanonical, (
\[CapitalGamma]1[\[Mu], -\[Alpha]]
\[Wedge]
\[CapitalGamma]1[\[Alpha], -\[Nu]]), 
{2}, 
Heads -> True
]

Replacing ToCanonical with Simplification also works.


Best,

Alfonso.
