🧄Simplifying Levi-Civita and Kronecker Delta Identities

This derivation is that the contraction of two Levi-Civita symbols results in a specific combination of Kronecker deltas, effectively transforming a product of antisymmetric tensors into a symmetric scale. By utilizing the cyclic property ( εijk=εjki\varepsilon_{i j k}=\varepsilon_{j k i} ) and the standard identity for a single shared index, we can reduce the expression through successive index summation. In 3-dimensional space, summing over two shared indices-as seen in the expression εijkεjk\varepsilon_{i j k} \varepsilon_{j k \ell}-collapses the product into 2δi2 \delta_{i \ell}. This relationship is a fundamental tool in vector calculus and tensor analysis, often used to simplify complex crossproduct identities (like the BAC-CAB rule) into manageable algebraic terms.
