How to show:
Tabc = [itex]\Gamma[/itex]abc - [itex]\Gamma[/itex]acb
is a Tensor of rank (1,2)
Attempted solution:
1. Using definition of Covariant Derivative:
DbTa= ∂aTa+[itex]\Gamma[/itex]abcTc (1)
DcTa= ∂cTa+[itex]\Gamma[/itex]acbTb (2)
I subtracted (2) from (1) but I couldn't really get a Tensor out of it. I just got lost in the mess.
Is this is the right way to start it?
