I read some older posts about this question, but I don't know if I'm getting it. I'm working with a Lagrangian involving some Levi Civita symbols, and when I calculate a term containing $\epsilon^{ijk}$ I obtain the contrary sign using $\epsilon_{ijk}$. I always apply the normal rules: $\epsilon_ {ijk}=\epsilon^{ijk}=1$; $\epsilon_ {jik}=\epsilon^{jik}=-1$ etc. I believed that there is no difference between covariant and contravariant Levi-Civita symbol. What do you know about this?
