Problem

Show that ψˉγμψ\bar{\psi}\gamma^\mu\psi is a four-vector, by confirming that its components transform according to the Lorentz transformation rule (3.7). Check that it transforms as a (polar) vector under parity (that is, the ``time'' component is invariant, whereas the ``spatial'' components change sign).
