Question

Show that the tensor

T_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma} = g_{\mu\rho}g_{\nu\sigma} - g_{\mu\sigma}g_{\nu\rho}

defined from the metric tensor  g_{\mu\nu} satisfies the symmetry property

T_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma} = -T_{\nu\mu\rho\sigma} = -T_{\mu\nu\sigma\rho} = T_{\rho\sigma\mu\nu}

Evaluate the contracted tensors

U_{\mu\nu} = {T_{\mu\nu\rho}}^{\rho}, and  W_{\mu\rho} = {T_{\mu\nu\rho}}^{\nu}

in four dimensions and in general n dimensions
