Verify for a few representative cases that gives the same results as a Laplace development. First note that if , then is just . Then try letting an even permutation of , and then try an odd permutation, to see that the signs work out correctly. Finally try a case when (that is when two of the indices are equal) to see that the right hand side of is zero because you are evaluating a determinant which has two identical rows.
.
Parabolic cylinder.
Show that the transformation equation for a -rank Cartesian tensor is equivalent to a similarity transformation. Warning hint: Note that the matrix C in Chapter 3 , Section 11 , is the inverse of the matrix A we are using in Chapter 10 (compare). Thus a similarity transformation of the matrix T with tensor components is. Also, see 鈥淭ensors and Matrices鈥 in Section 3 and remember that A is orthogonal.
Show that is an isotropic tensor of rank 5. Hint: Combine equations (5.4) and (5.7).
