In either the displayed Dirac representation of the gamma matrices or the displayed Weyl representation of the gamma matrices, the spatial blocks give
The Pauli matrix commutator identity therefore yields
The Levi-Civita symbol is normalized by . The constant is , consistent with rotation generators represented by skew-Hermitian matrices under the chosen Lorentz algebra convention. For both sides vanish automatically.
