Gamma-matrix vector sandwich

ID: gamma-matrix-vector-sandwich

For gamma matrices with and , contracted Clifford algebra gives . Expanding the two antisymmetrized factors gives . The five-gamma product equals , by moving the middle contracted gamma through and using the three-gamma contraction twice. Subtraction yields the displayed identity. A convention without the factor one-half in each bivector multiplies the result by four.
