Usage

PsiKadelia permits several tetrad choices. These are fixed by specifying the directions of $\hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}{}$ and ${\hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(2)}}{}$ before orthonormalization. These specifications are selected by setting the parameter ``psif_vec''. The most important, and default, parameter value is ``radial'' with directions defined by initially setting

$\displaystyle \hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat r^a$  
$\displaystyle {\hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(2)}}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat \phi^a$  

in terms of the numerical coordinate system. With this choice the tetrad approximates that of the ``usual'' Kerr or Schwarzschild tetrad choice in the asymptotic limit. Another choice which gets some use is ``cartesian'' defined by
$\displaystyle \hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat x^a$  
$\displaystyle {\hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(2)}}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat y^a.$  

The other possibility is ``metric_diag'' which sets
$\displaystyle \hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat z^a$  
$\displaystyle {\hat{v}_{\scriptscriptstyle(2)}}{}^a$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \hat x^a.$  

The variable names corresponding to real and imaginary parts of the $\Psi$'s are psi0re, psi0im, psi1re, ...The names for the real and imaginary parts of $I$ and $J$ are icurvre, icurvim, jcurvre and jcurvim.
