With metric (+−−−), γ5=iγ0γ1γ2γ3 and ϵ0123=+1, odd ordinary gamma matrix traces vanish, Tr(γμγν)=4gμν, andThe first follows by repeated Clifford algebra anticommutation and cyclicity of the trace. The second is an antisymmetric tensor, whose normalization is fixed by the 0123 component.
Tr(γμγνγργσ)=4(gμνgρσ−gμρgνσ+gμσgνρ),Tr(γ5γμγνγργσ)=−4iϵμνρσ.
