Thanks. This is what I was looking for when I originally posed the question.
So, if I understood you correctly, the restriction of Lorentz symmetry on the Hamiltonian in turn requires QFT creation and annihilation operators to commute/anticommute (the anticommute part what then ultimately drives a negative energy contribution from fermionic fields when summing over all possible energy states).
What causes the anticommute properties? Is there a non-abelian symmetry group backing fermion fields somewhere?
- auntienomen 9y agoThat's about right. There's a tiny bit of confusion The anticommutation of fermions is a consequence (the content, really) of the spin-statistics theorem, which is a consequence of Lorentz invariance & unitarity.
