Levi-Civita symbol: 3D matrix

During the current review of the tensors I have arrived at a page of Wikipedia where you can see the symbol of Levi-Civita in a beautiful three-dimensional matrix.

I hope that nobody will be angry with me if I do not produce any MWE but for me it would be nice to see the construction of a matrix so made and can be made available to other users.

    Nobody will be angry, don't worry. If I hadn't reached my 40-vote limit, you would have got my +1. Your question is very interesting (and hard).

    – Ignasi

  • Yes, better. one might quibble that there is more space than necessary, compared with the space at the right. I think it's best to pay attention to what is actually present in each column, but that does require more attention.

EDIT: Aligned the entries right, big thanks to Barbara Beeton. (I just wonder why no one complained that the Levi-Civita tensor is not a tensor, but a tensor density. ;-)

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.

  • @barbarabeeton Thanks! (1) can be addressed in a very simple way: loading mathtools and using beginpmatrix*[r]. (2) I do not understand. In Sebastiano's screen shot there are these four lines. Of course, if you'd ask me what they are good for, I'd admit that this is a very good question. ;-) Will revise my answer to address (1), thanks again!

  • The $-1$ in the front bottom middle doesn’t look aligned with the $0$ and $1$ in the othe two arrays. In the OPs example they are all nicely lined up.

    @Anush Yes, but this a question of what the OP wants. On can definitely convince LaTeX to typeset the matrices in the way you suggest. I was using some standard routine because it produces some standard output the community seems to have agreed upon. One reason why I wrote the solution in this way is that anyone can adjust the matrices without knowing anything about TikZ, and also because this way one can use orthographic projections, which we cannot subject a tikz matrix to (at least not in straightforward way). I guess Wikipedia would have used orthographic projections if they could.

  • @barbarabeeton Is it better now?

    – Ignasi
    Mar 5 at 17:56











  • Yes, better. one might quibble that there is more space than necessary, compared with the space at the right. I think it's best to pay attention to what is actually present in each column, but that does require more attention.

  • In the same way as the comment that I have added to marmot I can not establish, given that they are two codes at the same level, which is the best. You have been very good. Thank you very much.

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.

  • @barbarabeeton Thanks! (1) can be addressed in a very simple way: loading mathtools and using beginpmatrix*[r]. (2) I do not understand. In Sebastiano's screen shot there are these four lines. Of course, if you'd ask me what they are good for, I'd admit that this is a very good question. ;-) Will revise my answer to address (1), thanks again!

  • The $-1$ in the front bottom middle doesn’t look aligned with the $0$ and $1$ in the othe two arrays. In the OPs example they are all nicely lined up.

    @Anush Yes, but this a question of what the OP wants. On can definitely convince LaTeX to typeset the matrices in the way you suggest. I was using some standard routine because it produces some standard output the community seems to have agreed upon. One reason why I wrote the solution in this way is that anyone can adjust the matrices without knowing anything about TikZ, and also because this way one can use orthographic projections, which we cannot subject a tikz matrix to (at least not in straightforward way). I guess Wikipedia would have used orthographic projections if they could.

EDIT: Aligned the entries right, big thanks to Barbara Beeton. (I just wonder why no one complained that the Levi-Civita tensor is not a tensor, but a tensor density. ;-)



2nd EDIT: Response to Anush's comment (well-taken! ;-).

  • Two main differences with the image in the question: (1) in the negative entries, the digits are not aligned (and the spacing between columns adjusted to make them visually uniform), and (2) the tops and bottoms of the parentheses are not connected. of these, (1) detracts more from the appearance, although the meaning isn't affected; I happen to velue graceful appearance.

  • @barbarabeeton Thanks! (1) can be addressed in a very simple way: loading mathtools and using beginpmatrix*[r]. (2) I do not understand. In Sebastiano's screen shot there are these four lines. Of course, if you'd ask me what they are good for, I'd admit that this is a very good question. ;-) Will revise my answer to address (1), thanks again!

  • The $-1$ in the front bottom middle doesn’t look aligned with the $0$ and $1$ in the othe two arrays. In the OPs example they are all nicely lined up.

    @Anush Yes, but this a question of what the OP wants. On can definitely convince LaTeX to typeset the matrices in the way you suggest. I was using some standard routine because it produces some standard output the community seems to have agreed upon. One reason why I wrote the solution in this way is that anyone can adjust the matrices without knowing anything about TikZ, and also because this way one can use orthographic projections, which we cannot subject a tikz matrix to (at least not in straightforward way). I guess Wikipedia would have used orthographic projections if they could.
