The discussion focuses on evaluating the independent components of symmetric and antisymmetric tensors of rank 5 in a 999-dimensional space. Participants suggest starting with simpler cases, such as rank 2 tensors in a 3-dimensional space, to build understanding. The evaluation steps for symmetric tensors involve using the formula n(n+1)/2, while for antisymmetric tensors, it is n(n-1)/2. The complexity increases significantly with higher ranks and dimensions, making it essential to grasp the foundational concepts first. Detailed calculations and examples are requested to aid comprehension.

please if possible send me the evaluation steps of independent components of a symmetric and antisymmetric tensor of rank 5 and dimension 999.

Sounds like a homework problem.
Start with something simple first... like rank 2 with dimension 3.
