in the appendix on Group Theory in Zee's book there is a discussion of commutations for SO(3)
two questions
- does [J^{ij},J^{lk}] = J^{ij}*J^{lk}-J^{lk}*J^{ij}?
and there is an expression in the appendix that the commutator equals i(\delta^{ik}J^{jl} ...
i don't understand the why you are multiplying the matrix by the kronecker delta with different upstairs indexes, is not it simply an identity?
