Levi-Civita symbol: 3D matrix












13















During the current review of the tensors I have arrived at a page of Wikipedia where you can see the symbol of Levi-Civita in a beautiful three-dimensional matrix.



enter image description here



I hope that nobody will be angry with me if I do not produce any MWE but for me it would be nice to see the construction of a matrix so made and can be made available to other users.

    Nobody will be angry, don't worry. If I hadn't reached my 40-vote limit, you would have got my +1. Your question is very interesting (and hard).

  • @JouleV LOL LOL when I thought about what to write, I sincerely thought about you :-). Isn't it that you write to me that I'm 10k and I don't produce even a minimum MWE?

  • Yes, better. one might quibble that there is more space than necessary, compared with the space at the right. I think it's best to pay attention to what is actually present in each column, but that does require more attention.

EDIT: Aligned the entries right, big thanks to Barbara Beeton. (I just wonder why no one complained that the Levi-Civita tensor is not a tensor, but a tensor density. ;-)

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.

  • @barbarabeeton Thanks! (1) can be addressed in a very simple way: loading mathtools and using begin{pmatrix*}[r]. (2) I do not understand. In Sebastiano's screen shot there are these four lines. Of course, if you'd ask me what they are good for, I'd admit that this is a very good question. ;-) Will revise my answer to address (1), thanks again!

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.

  • @barbarabeeton Thanks! (1) can be addressed in a very simple way: loading mathtools and using begin{pmatrix*}[r]. (2) I do not understand. In Sebastiano's screen shot there are these four lines. Of course, if you'd ask me what they are good for, I'd admit that this is a very good question. ;-) Will revise my answer to address (1), thanks again!

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.
