Antilinear charge-conjugation intertwiner

ID: antilinear-charge-conjugation-intertwiner

In the complex-conjugate convention for charge conjugation of a Dirac field, a unitary matrix obeys the displayed gamma matrix identity. For , two minus signs cancel to give . Real Lorentz transformation parameters therefore give , so has the same Spinor representation of the Lorentz group transformation law as . Complex conjugating the free Dirac equation and multiplying by proves that the conjugate also solves it for real mass. This is the matrix multiplying ; the convention multiplying instead uses .
