 +====== UnitaryTrace ======
 +----
 +
 +====Description====
 +  * ''​%% UnitaryTrace%%''​ calculates the  trace of SU(N) matrices in expressions.
 +
 +
 +  * By default ''​UnitaryTrace''​ uses notation ''​T_A''​ for SU(N) matrices, ''​f_ABC''​ for SU(N) structural constants, ''​d_ABC''​ for $d$-constatnts and ''​N''​ for dimension.
 +
 +
 +
 +  * ''​%%UnitaryTrace[[Matrix:​ T, f: f, d: d, N:​n]]%%''​ specifies the notation for SU(N) matrices, structural constants, $d$-constants and dimension .
 +====Examples====
 +----
 +Calculate different traces:
 +<sxh groovy; gutter: true>
 +//set up matrices
 +defineMatrices '​T_A',​ Matrix2.matrix
 +//structure constants are antisymmetric
 +setAntiSymmetric '​f_ABC'​
 +//​d-constants are symmetric
 +setSymmetric '​d_ABC'​
 +println UnitaryTrace >> '​Tr[T_A*T_B]'​.t
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh plain; gutter: false>
 +   > (1/2)*g_AB
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh groovy; gutter: true; first-line: 8>
 +UnitaryTrace >> '​Tr[T_A*T_B*T_C]'​.t
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh plain; gutter: false>
 +   > (1/​4*I)*f_{CAB}+(1/​4)*d_{CAB}'​
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh groovy; gutter: true; first-line: 9>
 +UnitaryTrace >> '​Tr[T_A*T^A + 1]'.t
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh plain; gutter: false>
 +   > N-1/​2+(1/​2)*N**2
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh groovy; gutter: true; first-line: 10>
 +UnitaryTrace >> '​Tr[T_A*T_B*T_C*T^A]'​.t
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh plain; gutter: false>
 +   > (-(1/​4)*N**(-1)+(1/​4)*N)*g_{BC}
 +</​sxh>​
 +----
 +Use  another notation for SU(N) objects:
 +<sxh groovy; gutter: true>
 +//set up matrices
 +defineMatrices '​m_a',​ Matrix4.matrix
 +//structure constants are antisymmetric
 +setAntiSymmetric '​a_abc'​
 +//​d-constants are symmetric
 +setSymmetric '​s_abc'​
 +def uTrace = UnitaryTrace[[Matrix:​ '​m_a',​ f: '​a_abc',​ d: '​s_abc',​ N: '​n'​]]
 +println uTrace >> '​Tr[m^a*m_b*m^c*(p^b*m_a + p_a*m^b)*m_n]'​.t
 +</​sxh>​
 +<sxh plain; gutter: false>
 +   > (-1/​4*I)*n**(-1)*a_{n}^{ac}*p_{a}-(1/​4)*n**(-1)*p_{a}*s_{n}^{ac}
 +</​sxh>​
