I have a question in particle physics that ask me to find the mixed tensor, contravariant tensor and tensor trace of $F$:
Our professor didn't teach us that much about the math of tensor, which makes it very difficult in doing this question.
I have calculated $A_\mu$, $A_\mu A^\mu$, $\partial_\mu A^\mu$, $\partial_\nu(\partial_\mu A^\mu)$, $F_{\mu\nu}$. However, I have trouble dealing with the mixed tensor:
$F_\mu{}^\nu = g^{\rho\nu} F_{\mu\rho}$, which we can get $g^{\rho\nu}$ by $g_{\mu\rho} g^{\rho\nu} = \delta_\mu{}^\nu$.
However, I am confused in how to find $g^{\rho\nu}$ by $g_{\mu\rho} g^{\rho\nu} = \delta_\mu{}^\nu$, since it introduced a new variable of $\rho$. How do we deal with $\rho$?
Is there any kind of rules in dealing with tensor manipulation?
