Choose a basis of covariant symmetric tensors and its dual basis. All component contractions below use this basis–dual-basis pairing. Off-diagonal symmetric components therefore introduce no additional ad hoc factor of two.
For signature , define
Then , and differentiation of gives . Hence
The grouped crossed distribution has components
Both terms are defined tensor products. Their difference is retained as a single array. No mixed product or alternative covariance is introduced.
