A derivation of the calculation between base vectors and reciprocal base vectors

16 Views Asked by At

If we have a $3\times3$ matrix $A=[A^i_j]$, show that
\begin{equation} \epsilon^{ijk}\epsilon_{pqr}\text{det}A= \begin{vmatrix} A^i_p & A^i_q & A^i_r\\ A^j_p & A^j_q & A^j_r\\ A^k_p & A^k_q & A^k_r\\ \end{vmatrix} \end{equation} In the equation, $\epsilon^{ijk}$ and $\epsilon_{pqr}$ are the components of the permutation tensor P.
$\epsilon^{ijk}=(\boldsymbol{g^i} \times \boldsymbol{g^j}) \cdot \boldsymbol{g^k}$
$\epsilon_{pqr}=(\boldsymbol{g_p} \times \boldsymbol{g_q}) \cdot \boldsymbol{g_r}$
where {$\boldsymbol{g^{i,j,k}}$} and {$\boldsymbol{g_{p,q,r}}$} are the general reciprocal base and base vectors in space.

Already known and tries:
$\epsilon^{ijk}\epsilon_{pqr}= \begin{vmatrix} \delta^i_p & \delta^i_q & \delta^i_r\\ \delta^j_p & \delta^j_q & \delta^j_r\\ \delta^k_p & \delta^k_q & \delta^k_r\\ \end{vmatrix}$, where $\delta$ is the Kronecker delta.
And I know that
$(\boldsymbol{g^i} \times \boldsymbol{g^j}) \cdot \boldsymbol{g^k} = \begin{vmatrix} g^{ix} & g^{iy} & g^{iz}\\ g^{jx} & g^{jy} & g^{jz}\\ g^{kx} & g^{ky} & g^{kz}\\ \end{vmatrix}$
The result is intuitively direct to me, but I don't know how to prove it in mathematical language. Thank you!
