Both the Levi-Civita symbol and are invariant under proper rotations. Their tensor contraction
is consequently an isotropic vector. The introductory proof shows that it must vanish, so .
For the displayed combination of Kronecker deltas, the three terms are
In each term the tensor contraction repeats two indices of the Levi-Civita symbol; each term is zero. This verifies the identity for arbitrary .
