Homework Statement
Could someone help me understand the following manipulations concerning change of babsis in an N-dimensional space:
[tex]|i'\right\rangle=R|i\right\rangle=\sum_{j=1}^NR_{ji}|j\right\rangle[/tex]
multiply around by [tex](R^{-1})_{ik}[/tex]
[tex](R^{-1})_{ik}|i'\right\rangle=\sum_{j=1}^NR_{ji}(R^{-1})_{ik}|j\right\rangle[/tex]
and then they say that after a change of indices, we get:
[tex]|i\right\rangle=\sum_{j=1}^NR^{-1}_{ji}|j' \right\rangle[/tex]
However, I can't understand how do we gat the summation symbol on the LHS and how exactly do we do this change of indices.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
