| ''tensor_basis'' is an optional argument to fix a 2-particle basis for the returned vector. If it is not given, a new basis is constructed as a tensor product of the vectors' bases. It might be necessary to specify ''tensor_basis'' in many cases, since the new vector should be defined on a particular basis object. More importantly, the symmetry of the provided basis is also respected. If ''tensor_basis'' is symmetric, the tensor product is a symmetrized tensor product, $v\otimes w+w\otimes v$, if it is antisymmetric, the tensor product is a wedge product, $v\wedge w=v\otimes w-w\otimes v$. | ''tensor_basis'' is an optional argument to fix a 2-particle basis for the returned vector.
