   A and B are two Hermitian vector operators.
   K1=AXB, K2=AXB-BXA.
   Are K1 and K2 hermitian or anti-hermitian?

   I assume it means cross product.
   
   ber70, show us your attempt. What is the definition of hermiticity/antihemiticity? How would you use that to check whether your operators are hermitian?
