Write . Parity reverses the spatial coordinates and must exchange the two chiral Weyl spinors. One convenient choice is
The identities and exchange the two kinetic terms after . The mass bilinear maps to its complex conjugate , so the two mass terms are exchanged and the action is invariant. More generally, independent unit phases may multiply the two transformations provided .
