# Chapter A, §A.4 — Props 88 / Corollary 1: the CPT / "antiparticle" payoff
Source: `book.tex` §A.4 (line 5636), Props 87–88 and Corollary 1 — the *causality
⇒ antiparticles* / CPT statement.
The book's argument (roadmap §A.4, "Localization: Props 87–88, Corollary 1") is
that the `iγ⁰`-energy-sign projectors are **not conserved** by the imprimitivity
(momentum → position) structure: the spatial-gradient coefficients `γʲγ⁰`
(the operators appearing in the energy symbol `iH = ∂⃗·γ⃗γ⁰ + …` of §A.5) do
**not** commute with `iγ⁰`. Concretely `iγ⁰` *anticommutes* with each `γʲγ⁰`
(this is one of the generalized Clifford relations already established in
`ChapterA5`), so the two energy-sign projectors are *swapped* by every spatial
operator. Hence:
* a positive-energy subspace is mapped onto the negative-energy one — **Prop 88**
("a localizable rep containing a positive-energy subrep also contains the
negative-energy one", i.e. *antiparticles are forced*), and
* the `iγ⁰`-sign projectors are **not conserved**, so a full-Poincaré-irreducible
localizable rep cannot use them — the reduction underlying **Corollary 1** (the
CPT / position-operator payoff).
This file formalizes that concrete algebraic core on the `4×4` Majorana Clifford
model of §A.3/§A.5. The energy operator `iγ⁰` squares to `-1`, so its
eigenvalues are `±i` and the sign projectors `P± = ½(1 ∓ i·iγ⁰)` live over `ℂ`
(they are genuine complementary projectors). Everything reduces to the integer
anticommutation `{iγ⁰, γʲγ⁰} = 0` (`ChapterA5.coeffBoostZ_mass1_anticomm`) and is
`sorry`-free / `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`, `Quot.sound`),
with **no `EXTERNAL` hypothesis** (Wigner/Mackey enter only in the *exhaustiveness*
clauses of Props 87/88, which are the cited backbone, not this algebraic core).

**Prop 88 core.** Every spatial-gradient operator `γʲγ⁰` *intertwines* the
positive- and negative-energy-sign projectors: `P₊ (γʲγ⁰) = (γʲγ⁰) P₋`. Thus
`γʲγ⁰` maps the negative-energy subspace onto the positive-energy one — a
positive-energy subrep forces the corresponding negative-energy one
("antiparticles").
-/
/-
Symmetrically, `P₋ (γʲγ⁰) = (γʲγ⁰) P₊`.
-/
/-
The commutator of the positive-sign projector with a spatial operator equals
`i·(γʲγ⁰)(iγ⁰) = i·iγʲ`, an explicit nonzero matrix — the projector is *moved*.
-/
/-
**Corollary 1 core: the energy-sign projectors are NOT conserved.** There is
a spatial-gradient operator that does not commute with the positive-energy-sign
projector. Hence a localizable representation that is irreducible under the full
Poincaré group cannot use the (non-conserved) `iγ⁰`-sign projectors — the
reduction underlying the CPT / position-operator payoff.
