Problems 71 we eventually find Chey bC = bd; (3.149) Coy yPwe = thy" Vu. (3.150) Although the operator C' interchanges w and q, it does not actually change the order of the creation and annihilation operators. Thus, if 7° is defined to subtract the infinite constant noted above Eq. (3.113), this constant does not reappear in the process of conjugation by C. Summary of C, P, and T The transformation properties of the various fermion bilinears under C’, P, and T are summarized in the table below. Here we use the shorthand (—1)" = 1 for f= 0 and (-1)# = —1 for p = 1,2,3.

Notice first that the free Dirac Lagrangian Ly = (i7"0,, — m) is in- variant under C', P, and T separately. We can build more general quantum systems that violate any of these symmetries by adding to Ly some pertur- bation 6£. But 6£ must be a Lorentz scalar, and the last line of the table shows that all Lorentz scalar combinations of # and ¥ are invariant under the combined symmetry CPT. Actually, it is quite generally true that one cannot build a Lorentz-invariant quantum field theory with a Hermitian Hamiltonian that violates CPT.+ Problems 3.1 Lorentz group.
