CPT Revisted: A Manifestly Covariant Presentation

  • Chapter
The Wave-Particle Dualism

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 3))

Abstract

Z, or \( {\rm{\psi }}{\rm{\bar \psi }} \), denoting exchange of relativistically adjoint wave equations, particle-antiparticle exchange ζ and Wigner motion reversal ξ are related to rest mass reversal M and “Racah time reversal” T as = ζ and ξ = TZ. ℘ = P denoting “Racah space reversal”, ℘ζ = PTZ is “covariant motion reversal”. This synthetizes the requirements of prequantal relativistic electrodynamics and second quantization. MPT = is a “manifestly covariant” expression of the ζ℘ξ= 1 theorem.
