Prove epsilon permutation and kronecker delta function relationship.

ijk ilm= jl km kl jm
Proof:Consider

i 1 i 2 i 3
ijk = j 1 j 2 j3
k 1 k 2 k 3

Equation a

For [i j k] = [1 2 3]

11 12 13
123 = 21 22 23
31 32 33

| |

1 0 0
123 = 0 1 0 =1
0 0 1
For [i j k] = [2 13]

|| |

21 22 23 0 1 0
213 = 11 12 13 = 1 0 0 =1
31 32 33 0 0 1
For [i j k] = [1 13]

|| |

11 12 13 1 0 0
113 = 11 12 13 = 1 0 0 =0
31 32 33 0 0 1
Hence for even combinations of i,j,k equation a gives 1, for odd combinations gives
-1 and for repetitions gives 0.
Now consider two matrices A, B of same order.
From the properties of matrices we know that

Det(A).Det(B)=Det(AB)

}{

i 1 i 2 i 3 i 1 i 2 i 3
ijk ilm= j 1 j 2 j3 j 1 j 2 j 3
k 1 k 2 k 3 k1 k 2 k 3
