For ε=(0−1​10​), every two-by-two matrix satisfies UTεU=(detU)ε. Thus ϕTεχ is exactly invariant under a common SU(2) group transformation. This is a bilinear contraction without complex conjugation. It vanishes for equal commuting spinors and is the alternating tensor defining the spin singlet state. Overall bosonic exchange symmetry must still be enforced if the spinors label identical particles.
