2. Establishthe transformation properties of [math]\displaystyle{ \bar \psi\gamma^\mu\psi }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \bar \psi\gamma_5\gamma^\mu\psi }[/math] under the parity transformation.
3. Find the expression of the Dirac hamiltonian corresponding to the Dirac equation for 1-particles states. Show that it commutes with [math]\displaystyle{ \overrightarrow L+\overrightarrow{\Sigma\over 2} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \overrightarrow p\cdot\overrightarrow\Sigma }[/math].
4. Using the Dirac algebra, simplify the following: [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_\mu\gamma^\mu }[/math],[math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_\mu\gamma_\nu\gamma^\mu }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_\mu\gamma_\nu\gamma_\tau\gamma^\mu }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_\mu\gamma_\nu\gamma_\tau\gamma_\sigma\gamma^\mu }[/math].
