I am wondering if there are ways to use abstract index notation in sage. For example, could I define the tensor:
$$C^c_{ab}=\frac{1}{2}g^{cd}(\tilde{\nabla_a} g_{bd}+\tilde{\nabla_b} g_{ad} - \tilde{\nabla_d} g_{ab})$$
this particular object describes the difference between two connections, $\nabla_a$ and $\tilde{\nabla}_b$. Can we define objects like this an manipulate them in Sage? My confusion comes from the common definition of the connection, a la
nabla = g.connection()
Which is not directly a 1-tensor. Specifically, I would like to define a metric, $g_{ab}$, and a conformal transformation $\tilde{g_{ab}}=\Omega^2 g_{ab}$, the corresponding connections, and determine the tensor $C^a_{bc}$ for this particular case. (and of course, we know the answer because this the standard approach to conformal transformations in GR).
