I have to demonstrate that if A^{rs} is an antisymmetric tensor, and B_{rs} is a symmetric tensor, then the product:
A^{rs}B_{rs}=0
So I called the product:
C^{rs}_{rs}=A^{rs}B_{rs}=-A^{sr}B_{sr}=-C^{rs}_{rs}
In the las stem I've changed the indexes, because it doesn't matters which is which, but I'm not sure this is fine (because I think r and s could have have associated differents values in the sum).
Then
2C^{rs}_{rs}=2A^{rs}B_{rs}=0
Is this ok?
A^{rs}B_{rs}=0
So I called the product:
C^{rs}_{rs}=A^{rs}B_{rs}=-A^{sr}B_{sr}=-C^{rs}_{rs}
