It follows from
the S invariance of the density matrices (1) and
(2) that
and
do not change signs under
S, while
does. All scalar
functions invariant under S depend on , only through

, and
.
For instance, Eq. (31) for the nonlocal scalar density
now takes the form
|
(43) |
There exist two pseudoscalars formed from
, ,
,
, namely
and
equal to each other up to the scalar factor .
The square
is,
of course, a scalar.
To fulfill the transformation rules, the general forms of Eqs. (32) and (33) of the components of the nonlocal spin density
should be modified in the following way:
and
It follows from Eqs. (43), (44), and
(45) that the local zero-order
densities for
and
can be written in the general form:
The local kinetic density
is of the form
(46) too. On the other hand, the pseudoscalar density
vanishes. The
densities
and
,
are pseudovectors; hence, they take the form (48).
On the other hand, vectors
and
are linear
combinations of the components of the position vector:

(49) |
The spin-curl
takes a similar form to that of
(49). Finally,
is a
pseudotensor. Therefore, as follows from (25), its general
form is given by:
