Dear George,
unfortunately, I have not now a good reference to read about it. This is
fundamental property of Dirac matrixes, so, any arbitrary 4x4 matrix may be
decomposed as linear combination of Dirac matrixes Gamma=I, \gamma^5,
\gamma^{\mu},\gamma^5\gamma^{\mu}, \sigma^{\mu\nu}. Coefficients of this
decomposition may be determined by matrix trace operation (in addition
divided by 4). You can write your matrix M explicitly as 4x4 table in
Mathematica, after that you can write Dirac matrixes (for example in
standard representation) also as tables, after using usual 1/4*Tr[M.Gamma]
operation in Mathematica to define coefficients.
In FeynCalc these coefficients may be presented as numbers (before I and
\gamma^5 or components of four-vectors for other Dirac matrixes, all may be
expressed via known decomposition coefficients). You can define in FeynCalc
all scalar products values with these four-vectors using known coefficients
of matrix M decomposition.
Sincerely, Dimitry.
