Homework Statement


using Einstein notation, show the following identities are true

(A · B) : C = A^T · C : B = C · B^T : A



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


(A · B) : C=(A_{ij} · B_{jk} ) : C
= D_{ik} C_{ik}
= C_{ik} D_{ik}
= C_{ik} (A_{ij} · B_{jk} )

That's as far as I can get. No clue as what to do next, any pointers would be
greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the response :)
I got it solved since then, I had trouble trying to convert the double inner product as
a summation. Once I figured that out, it was as easy as pie
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
