Discrete symmetries:<br />

Parity and time reversal<br />

The operators of the discrete symmetries related to<br />

space time, and , are quite obvious when act<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on four-vectors:<br />

Note: Although at first it looks similar, the parity<br />

operator is not the metric! (position of the <strong>in</strong>dices).
