Thomas,
In[1]:=
Sum[F[x],{x,-a,a}]==Sum[F[y],{y,-a,a}]

Out[1]=
Sum[F[x], {x, -a, a}] == Sum[F[y], {y, -a, a}]

Mathematica stops at the syntactical level.

We need to buid in some way of making the syntactical forms to sam

In[15]:=
%/.x|y->xy

Out[15]=
True

But we need to avoid variabel clashes and deal with depndencies amongst
the summation variables.
