Handwritten notes by Phil, apparently from his Berkeley period (one section is dated June 10, 1977). They work out how T, P and C act on single-particle rest states, canonical spin states and spinor states, including phase factors and Wigner/helicity rotations. They also cover the CPT relation for S-matrix elements via the complex Lorentz group, and why parity cannot be represented by a 2x2 SL(2,C) matrix. The OCR is heavily garbled, so details are approximate.

e 1.Myfirstapproach toconsidering reversal oforderwastoconsider justastate.
Assuming S-matrix theory hasthe“relative statistics property", here iswhat you
getforreversing astate: ‘
: Us.sy W2) =9 en 1 €qy= Gy)
Wa =Wap) Cees Gs '
Uepand =19,3,4,1) eyeisEeCasEchCay ' :
Inthe general case, the factors you get can beconsidered tolie onone side of
acertain matrix: .
!
eu : ‘ :Qua,whayousRusaranamm=poresleds én!GharantAfookan és\ :
ox N=s(men)/2
Actually, Inow find that this isaclumsy way towrite the phase factor.
e2.Consider againageneralstatecontaining bothferminns andbosons. Becauseof usual relative statistics, you are free toshift all the boson fields toone side:
ARAB BSED =IRARGBbeBey
oudLSBRR BRD =(ARR 868>
Now wesee that toreverse the order ofastate, you can consider the bosons and fermions
separately. Inreversing the bosons, you get nosigns atall. Thus, the only signs you
get cone from reversing the order ofthefeymions. Assume there areFfermions. Then
eachofthe(F*-F)/2 exchange factors iaminus sign, sothattheoverall phase
due to state reversal is:
:
Fe reversal phase =(-1)" where I=#(F° -F)
Byjust fiddling, itiseasy toshow that this becomes:
reversal phase=(()FwhenF=even
!
e (4)F-1whenF=odd
a, 3.Thus,whenyoureverseorderforan$-nolaix Dienent_om-wightman function, you
getthisfactor i”peceuse Fmustbeeven,‘otherwise thefunction vanishes.

Thus, when thetotal number offermions iseven --asitisforan-S-matrix-elemetn —-
thereversal phase can bewritten asaproduct offactors where each factor depends

You want parity tocommute with rotations. iBut you want parity tonegate boosts. Note
that in4-vector space, boost matrix is hermitien because the boost generators are

Hi
So,when wecome tothe2x2SL(2,C) world, weknow what wewant theparity operator
stodo, but wecannot find a2x2 matrix that will work. Note that wecannot find a
matrixofanydeterminant thatwillwork.Sowehaveapeculiar situation thatte@®operator ssomehow lies "outside" ofSL(2,C) and must, beadded on. The fact that
nomatrix 2x2 works isconnected tothe fact that the representation aisnot
equivalent totherepresentation (att .Somehow theparity: operator sisfaking
@connection between these two different representations ofSL(2,C).
44.Now what are wegoing todo? Since wecannot "represent" the parity operator s
inthe2x2space, weprobably cannot rppresent sinanyoftheD‘°*°) spaces. Thus,
we will never be able to find astatement like this:
Gis) Bae Cre DareGS)BaghGee)
This isinline with the fact that parity simply does not belong tothe complex
lorentz grouppx8x L,(C),ornottomention therealproper Lorentz group. Sohow
doyou make the statement ofparity invariance ‘ofyour theory?
5.Looking atToller, itseems that the only time you can represent parity isif

r1,Whenyoustartlookingthisupinthestandardtexts,youarereferredtothe1
usual field theoretical arguement which issomewhere inBD. But Iwant ageneral
S-matrix argument forwhythis should betrue. Ichecked Willimas (refers toBD), .
Gas. (field theory), etc etc. Not even Baryt seems todothis. But, Martin and
Spearman gave ahint, which Inowfollow up,anditworks.
2.Consider aTaylor N-function. Iwillstiowthattheabove rulemaybeproved from
thecombination ofcrossing andparity invariarice. Forreference, seeTaylér M-function
notes elsewhere. The basic idea isthis: ° .

Anaive discussion oftime-reversal and panity for S-matrix theory.eeeee eee e 1.Thisdiscussion begins withthestuff mentioned inWillisms page105to110.
2.Whet isthetime-reversed reaction? Just think classically. The3-momenta should
reverse, the-Cenonical spinprojections should reverse. First, letsdoapicture:

Several comments are appropriate here:
a)Williams sometimes referse totime-reversal as"reciprocity".
b)noticethatthephasehasnotbeenspecified here. eSc)weuse canonicel spin, not helicity. Helicity projections would not get negated.
d)energies and particle types donot, get changed, only 3-momenta get changed.
3.What isthe parity-reversed reaction? Obviously this isgoing toinvolve reversed
3-momenta, but what about the spin. The! spin 3-vectors like s,which weusually
donot use inS-mstrix theory, stay the same because they are axial vectors. If
you view the canonical spin projection asspin vector sdotted into some fixed
z-axis which does not move under parity,'then cenonical spin projections donot
change. Anyway, this isthe result williams gives. Again, inhelicity the helicities
get negated; jus tthe opposite result ababove. Fro parity wethen have:

Comments onthis: :
a)particles stay insame side ofreaction, notype changes.
b)the only change isthe three momenta are negated.
¢)again, phases not specified.

ksNowweadd something newwhich isniehter Tnor P.Weinvent aso-called
complementary or"detailed-balance" reaction, andwesuppose that iftherewere"detailed balance invariance" innature, thenwewouldhave:
(Geome)“6 (Ea,Bette)(€1,31,04) 4 &(Ge,Bem) DB
2 (Ee Beme)=(im)im CR) ae, (6,Fog) & 4(5a,Pamd)
Looking atthe combination ofTand P,wesee that detailed balance isalmost equal
toPTexcept that thecombination PTnegates thespin projections (ineither helicity
orcsnoncial). Thus, detailed balance doesnotnevessarily follow evenifPandTand Cand CPT are all exact ‘symmetries.
Inthe special case ofspinless particles, however, PT=detailed balance.
The main point. about detailed balance isthat itdoes follow from PTinaspin-
averaged sense. Ie, ifyou average over ititial spin projections and sum ofer final
spin projections, then you can use PTinvariance toconclude "semi-detailed balance:"

1.Conflict#1:accordingtoTaylororanyoneelse,sayMS,whenyoucross"aparticle, oeyou negate its 4~momentum. Therefore, ifyou simlate TOP bycrossing all four
particles ofal-body reaction, you would get arelation releting anamplitude where
aisinvoming with positive energy ,toanamplitude where 2isoutgoing with
negative energy. Ie, the two amplitudes’ are continuations ofeach other and are
notphysical attheametime. This conflicts with theidea thet TCP a1aWilliams
connects tworeactions both inphysical wegions, ie, @has positive energy in
thesecond reaction ofWilliams. This Conflict #1does notneed spin.

2.Conflict #2. InWilliams orme, the combination PInegates helicity orcanonical
:
spin projection, endtherefore sodoes TCP. This means thet TOPrelates awith
momentum pgandhelicity m,toreaction withparticle @having p,but-m,.
This seems toconflict with both Teylor and MSwho say that when you cross aperticle,
the helicity does not get negated but the momentum does. Ofcourse there are two
complications here: '
a)Taylor uses spinorial states: rather than helicity.
b)this conflict #2iscomplicated by!existence ofconflict #1.

@ 1,Definition: parity invariance foraprocess meansreverse all3-momenta, donot
reverse spin vectors. Magnitude ofamplitudd isthen the same for both. (2.1). There
will then besome phase called &(T) which you can show depends only onparticle types,
not ontheir momenta. This thing isthe "total process phase" duetoparity inversion.
2.Theorem: the total phase you get from parity iseither +1or-1, This iswhet (3.1)
says. Idonot really know why this is,but postpone this question till later. Seems that
maybe two applications ofPcould give you ariarbitrary phase. Isuspect this question
isalarger question than Icare toanalyzie ;right now. Assume correct.
3.Onewaytothink ofparity inversion istdgotothemultiple-L representation. Then
parity gives aphase which ieminus one totHe sum ofall Lj. Inthis case, you see bhat
your phase must beplus orminus one. '
i
4.Insection 5Henry shows that product ofprocess parities forprocess andanother
process withonecrossed particle mustbe(-4)* wheres=spinofcrossed particle.
Ihave notfollowed this because Idonotyetunderstand Stapp nptation, eg,(5.9) or
eitsgeneralization (5.4).®XWaarons,oyproMie,
5.Insection 6Henrgy asks: canyouwrite thetotal process parity asaproduct of
particle intrinsic parities? Ifso,isthig assignment unique?
Uniqueness isconsidered first. Itiseasy toshow that, 1fyour theory happens
tohave something else conserved, like charge, this fact enables you togenerate an
equivalently useful setofjntrisic parities from theoriginal set, asin(6.2+). This
thing isreferred toasaguage transformatidn. Inthe rest ofthis section, heshows
the existence ofaset ofintrinsics. '
Should you always take them +1or-1? You certainly can dothis. Then any additive
conservation law would allow you togeuge these intrinsics into aset ofcomplex nunbers.
Since self-conjugate fermions have not yet been observed, you can forget them. But
ifthey did exist, you would have togive them purely imaginary intrinsic parity, so
thatsugre =-1.Interesting point. IFtheworld hadnoconserved quantities except
integrality (then fermions would have tobeself-conjugate), you would beforced to
keve all fermions insuch athepry imaginary parity! Perhaps this isreally the best
way tomake the assignment, since integrality may bethe only perfectly conserved
@wees numer! ThenyouareOF4£self-conjugate fermlons arediscovered soneday.

Theidea ofthis little appendix istocqnstruct 6-point functions ofdefinite
triple-baturelity. Weknow ofcourse how todothis for a4~point function. The
thing begins bydoing aWhite-like partigl wave analysis inaphysical 2to4channel.
You recombine all your two-body states sqthat each system has adefinite parity.
Then you @iddle around asin(A.3) toget the entire amplitude tohave a
definite parity with respect tothe initieh channél only. Then using thehelicity
crossing d-functions youconvert tosome ‘useful Mueller region from your chosen
2-to-h channel.
Havingdoneallthiswrtaparticular’ 2-bodyintialchannel,yourepeatfor @ theother twochannels toget(A.6) and(f.7). Eachamplitude involves naturality
inaparticular channel. Finally, youcombine everything ‘togetamplitudes of
definite naturelity inallchannels, see{A.8). Itisclaimed that theproduct
ofthenaturdlities mist be1orelse the,thing vanishes duetoparity. I'qnote
sure this isexact orasymptotic clain. Asymptotics were used instep top p169.
”Fot more details, eee their ref's 6and 9.
Bythe way, when Idothis stuff Ihave been using Toller sohave not had to

I.There isanessential difference inour handling ofTand Pas
: + compared with C, Tand Pinvolve spacetime and observers 0and O'y
Wespoke about the relations between the external electromagnetic
potentials "as seen from different frames, the primed and the
| unprimed.” There; wewere observing the same electron from two
different reference frames. Inboth frames, the electron seen
had the same energy, the same charge
2.Charge conjugation isvery different. Wenever "go toacharge
conjugated reference frame." There isonly one frame inour consideration
ofC,But, there aretwodifferent electrons. Psiisanelectron, !Pai, issomething else. IfPsi were anegative energy electron, then
Psig would bearegular positron ofpositive energy. So, the two
objectsinvolved here,andobserved inthesamereferential, have |equal and opposite charges and energies. Since there isonly one
referential, weneveraskquestions like:"tihathappens toAunder | charge conjugation?” Infact, intreating C,itisbest tojust
suppressthespacetimeindices. | 3.Wehave now shown that the Dirac equation isseparately "invariant"
' under Pc and T.For Pand T(orP?together) this means that in
either frame, the Dirac equation looks the same. For C,this means
:thatPsi,satisfiesthesameequationasdoesPai,exceptcharge eisreversed. That is,Cinvariance says thet theanti-electron acts
exactly asan electron with. reversed charge.
| 4.This, weare not surprised tofind that the Dirac theory also has
i combined PCT invariance. The interesting facts are:
a)the “PCT wavefunction" satisfies almost the same Dirac equation
' asthe "original wavefunction". However, energy, spacetime, and
| charge areallreversed intheP@Tequation, relative totheoriginal equation. i d)the fact that 3Cwavefunction has reversed energy isonly clear
' ifyou lock at anenergy eigenstate equation.
: c)fact a)motivates the idea used inparopagator theory which
says thet apositron isanegative energy electron moving
backwards inspace time.'By "positron" wemean the PCT wf.
1 5.Also interesting isthe fact that outside the realm ofDirac theory
and QED, the product PCT isstill supposed tobeaninuariance of
the exact theory, even though the separate piece are known tobe
violated.ThePO?theoremhasbeenprovenin.axiomatic FTandSMT. | 6.Note that inthis whole business wehave given uponthe idea of
giving ameaning tothe action,of some operator P,C orTonthe
external potential. Wesimplydonotconsider oneoftheseoperators |asacting onafundtion. Then only act inthe Dirac space.

a Comments onTimeReversal, WeakInteractions, andReality offormfactors.
® 1.First,acomentonthehermiticity ofcurrents. Theelectromagnetic current
. is, atzero momentum transfer, anobservable thing. The current operator
corresponds toaphysical observable, sothe expectation value mst be
reals Laonypaay]=TayYay,
Ifwewere toconcoct some kind ofelectromagnetic current operator, say
using Dirac fields, then wemight expect thet operator tobeHermitian
{at least the normal ordered current ought tobeHermitian.) ItisHermitian
operators which have real expectation values, always.
Similarly, theV-Acurrent of’weak interactions isreal atzero
momentum transfer. Tocheck this, wejust look atthelast column in
Commins' table. Ingeneral, wewould’ expect theweak leptonic current
operator tobeHermitian.
1
2.InQHDfield theory, theLegrangiah isanoperator L=J.A. Thevector
potential Amayormaynotbeanoperator. Ifitisnot, then itisreal.
Ifitis,thenitisHermitianbechusephotonsareneutral.Theelectron r) current Jyisalsohermitian, andnormalordered. Thus,thelagrangian
density operator isalso Hermitian,
However, infield theory theLagrangian isslways Hermitian because
the $operator isunitary. Thus, the Hermiticity ofLisreally astarting
point. Weshould not think ofitasarising from the hermiticity ofsome
current. Infact, inweak interactions there are charged currents ,and
these erenot Hermitdan.(You always have toaddthepiece ofopposite
charge toget aHermitian current.)
3.How doweknow that the form factors ofthe proton for deep inelastic are
real? Atzero transfer weknow they are both real because they are both
observables (charge and anomolous moment), .But whycouldn't they go
complex asyouleave theforward direction? well, there isthis idea
that even atq@f0this current cotples toAY. Again, L=J.A, andthe
Hermiticity ofL,together with théreality ofA,implies theHermiticity
ofJ,sotheformfactorsmustmaintain zerorelative phase.

with various form factors, which ciirrents arenot Hermitian. Ofcourse
these currents arecombined byhand inawaywhich makes thephenomenological
LHermitian. The question now is: how toweshow that these form factors
are real ?
Well, the answer isasfollows: you know that these form factors
aregoing toshow upinmatrix elements oftheT-operator. Now, ifyou
could show that theT-operator were Hermitian, SpdAe(fotdedetseWim rhyhyGeX \itwériaately thenyoucanshowthattheformfactors arereal.s

itdsnotso,because thedifferente isTI*, according tounitarity. But,
inweak interactions itisfairto'set allhigher order graphs =0since

The Toller formalism including TCP "incorporates" TCP invariance. Ie, two
reactions which arerelated byTCP aresimply related beeasue theTCPoperator
isjustanelement oftheinvariance group. ‘Inother words, thecomparison
ofareaction toits TOP reaction isastrivial ascomparing areaction inone
Loretnz ‘frame tothe same reaction inanother Lorentz frame.
However, there isnosuch simple connection between the,s-chanhel amplitude
andthe t~channel amplitude. Inother words, theToller formalism does not
include analyticity asone ofits assumetptions.
Toller nevertheless does want 0-include all,6 reactions into.his onefunction,
reaall equation (j,.7) insignature paper, where heallows forallreactions to
be“present. Howeyer; this isofcourse adoctoring' upofthe Hilbert Spaces
byadding their conjugate spaces, andthen letting thedoubled Moussa Stora
wavefunction: select out the reaction of interest.
Still, there isnoanalytic connection between the various. reactions, except
the TOP connection asalready noted.

This allows you towrite thetransformation ofthe (continued) s-channel

twoobjects given ontopoflastpage(back ofthispage) transform inthe
same way under real Lorentz transformations. :
Ifthey transform the same way, itisreasohable toconclude that they are
equal. This isthegist oftheMSproof.

at-chatinel cmsframe’ifweliked. Wewouldthenbeequating(a t-channel amplitude
evaluated intheat-channel cmsframe) with (as-channel amplitude continued
tothe t-channel cmsframe).
Now acareful distinction isneeded. At-channel amplitude evaluated in
aspecial t-channel cmsframemaybeidentified withthe"t-channel cms i)
amplituden 1°*)(s,t). “Youcan’continie this"t-channel emsamplitude”

Nowconsider equation (7:31) ‘Thisshoysarelatidn between thes-channel

Nowsofar, equation (7.R%x 31)links thes-channel amplitude attwopoints
