Exchange Symmetry of Spatial Wave Functions in case of two Electrons and the Pauli Principle

I have some problems understanding the symmetry of spatial wave functions. In my experimental physics course they tought us that in atoms the total wave function $Psi_{tot}(vec{r}_1,vec{r}_2)=Psi(vec{r}_1,vec{r}_2)chi(S,M_s)$ has to...

Proving that the Minkowski metric tensor is invariant under Lorentz transformations

I'm studying special relativity. A general Lorentz transformation is defined by $Lambda^TetaLambda=eta$. Now,begin{align}eta'^{munu} &= Lambda^mu_{;;alpha}Lambda^nu_{;;beta}eta^{alphabeta}\&= (LambdaetaLambda^T)^{munu}end{align} How does this equal $eta^{munu}$? All we...
