Let Φ\Phi denote the isomorphism `Fermion.dualLeftDualRightToMatrix` which maps the tensor product of a dual left-handed Weyl spinor and a dual right-handed Weyl spinor to the space of 2×22 \times 2 complex matrices. The theorem states that applying the tensor product of the dual representations ρL(M)ρR(M)\rho_{L^*}(M) \otimes \rho_{R^*}(M) to the element Φ1(v)\Phi^{-1}(v) in the spinor space is equivalent to applying the transformation v(MT)1v((MT)1)v \mapsto (M^T)^{-1} v ((M^T)^{-1})^\dagger and then mapping the result back via Φ1\Phi^{-1}. Mathematically, this is expressed as: (ρL(M)ρR(M))(Φ1(v))=Φ1((MT)1v(MT)) (\rho_{L^*}(M) \otimes \rho_{R^*}(M)) (\Phi^{-1}(v)) = \Phi^{-1}((M^T)^{-1} v (M^T)^{-\dagger}) where ρL\rho_{L^*} and ρR\rho_{R^*} are the representations of SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}) on the dual left-handed and dual right-handed Weyl spinor spaces, respectively, and Φ1\Phi^{-1} is the inverse map `dualLeftDualRightToMatrix.symm`.
