Thank you very much. Indeed for the permutation itself (last step) I ended up with the following snippet def permute(l,

How can I permute indices in tensor fields on manifolds? I would like to define the following (0,4) tensor

$R_{abcd} = g_{a[c}g_{d]b}$

but I can't find an "easy" way (apart from assigning all the components bruteforce with some for loop, I guess). I presume there should be an "ovious" way of doing that but I cannot find it. Thanks.
