This is from the intro to a problem 36.5 in Srednicki and not part of the problem itself. I am having trouble proving that $$\mathcal{L}=i\psi_j^\dagger\sigma^\mu\partial_\mu\psi_j$$ Has $U(N)$ symmetry. $j$ is to be understood as going from $1$ to $N$ and being summed over. Srednicki says to take the following transformation on the (massless) Weyl Fields $$\psi_j \rightarrow U_{jk}\psi_k$$ And then I expect that I will require $UU^\dagger=I$ (which then implies the symmetry by thinking in the space where we are stacking the Weyl fields as a vector). However, plugging this in yields $$\mathcal{L}\rightarrow i(U_{jm}\psi_m)^\dagger\sigma^\mu\partial_\mu U_{jk}\psi_k $$ There is no worry about commuting with the pauli or derivative here so I will just put together the matrices: $$\mathcal{L}\rightarrow i\psi_m^\dagger U^*_{mj} U_{jk}\sigma^\mu\partial_\mu\psi_k $$ so it instead looks like I require the matrix multiplication $U^*U=I$ where the star denotes complex conjugation, to preseve the lagrangian. How does this show the required symmetry?
Edit: In addition to naturally inconsistent's response (which is correct but it not as explicit as I needed), I recommend anyone who has this question to also look at this post if still confused.
