Hey guys,
I just finished reading a proof from Particle physics
By Brian Robert Martin, Graham Shaw on a proving that if color confinement implies baryons color wavefunction is antisymmetric. One thing I am having trouble understanding though is what exactly does it mean for a wavefunction to be antisymmetric?. I remember my professor going over antisymmetry, but is was from an example of spin so I didn't understand it 100% becuase it involved stuff in quantum physics that I had not gotten to yet.
So I was hoping that some could explain or find links explaining:
1) What exactly does it mean to be symmetric/antisymmetric from a wavefunction point of view?
2) What does it mean to be symmetric/antisymmetric from a vector or graphically point of view? (for example from the perspective graph of complex plane)
3) Is their a easy metaphor or song to help remember symmetry?
Thanks in advance,
