So I am reading a book on ferromagnetism, the author writes
[tex]\left[S_J,S_{J-1} \cdot S_J\right] = S_J cross S_{J-1}[/tex]
(I couldn't get the cross product x in latex code for some reason)
Where [tex]S_J[\tex] and [tex]S_{J-1}[\tex] are the spin operators for atoms j and j-1.
I was wondering how one gets from the left hand side of the equation to the right hand side.
Thanks in anticipation
