mathematica.stackexchange.com › questions › 3306If you want Conjugate in the answer use ComplexExpand[Re[PP], TargetFunctions -> {Conjugate}]. Whatever you do, you will get a very long and complicated expression. Using Re alone is never going to "work" (well, it actually does "work", but does not expand - a different matter) except when dealing with numbers - how could it? The answers depends on which symbols are real and which are not. $\endgroup$ –
