For any element gSL(2,C)g \in SL(2, \mathbb{C}), the covariant Minkowski metric ημν\eta_{\mu\nu} (represented by the tensor η\eta') is invariant under the group action of gg, such that gη=ηg \cdot \eta' = \eta'.

theorem

The contravariant Minkowski metric is invariant under SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}) (gη=ηg \cdot \eta = \eta)

#actionT_contrMetric

For any element gSL(2,C)g \in SL(2, \mathbb{C}), the contravariant Minkowski metric ημν\eta^{\mu\nu} (denoted as η\eta) is invariant under the action of SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}), such that gη=ηg \cdot \eta = \eta.

#actionT_leftMetric

For any element gg of the group SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}), the metric tensor ϵL\epsilon_L (also denoted as `leftMetric` or ϵab\epsilon^{ab}) associated with left-handed Weyl spinors is invariant under the group action of gg. That is, gϵL=ϵLg \cdot \epsilon_L = \epsilon_L.

#actionT_rightMetric

For any element gSL(2,C)g \in SL(2, \mathbb{C}), the right-handed spinor metric tensor ϵR\epsilon_R (also denoted as the invariant tensor ϵa˙b˙\epsilon^{\dot{a}\dot{b}} for dotted contravariant indices) is invariant under the group action of SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}). That is, gϵR=ϵRg \cdot \epsilon_R = \epsilon_R.

#actionT_altLeftMetric

For any element gSL(2,C)g \in SL(2, \mathbb{C}), the metric tensor for left-handed Weyl spinors ϵL\epsilon_{L'} (represented by `altLeftMetric` in the `complexLorentzTensor` species, with covariant indices of color `downL`) is invariant under the group action of gg.
