    The CPT group of the spin-3/2 field

    Full text link
    We find out that both the matrix and the operator CPT groups of the spin-3/2 field (with or without mass) are respectively isomorphic to D4Z2D_4\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_2 and Q×Z2Q\times\mathbb{Z}_2. These groups are exactly the same groups as for the Dirac field, though there is no a priori reason why they should coincide.Comment: 9 pages. We are replacing the original version (v1) because there was a mistake in the calculation which led to wrong group

    Charge Conjugation from Space-Time Inversion

    We show that the CPT group of the Dirac field emerges naturally from the PT and P (or T) subgroups of the Lorentz group.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
