 Central-commutator exponential identity

For finite-dimensional complex linear operators with $C=[A,B]$ commuting with both $A$ and $B$, differentiating $e^{-vB}A{e}^{vB}$ gives the constant derivative $C$. Hence $e^{-B}A{e}^B=A+C$, and conjugating the matrix exponential gives $e^{-B}{e}^{-A}{e}^B=e^{-A-C}$. Since $[A,C]=0$, multiplication by $e^A$ proves the identity. The commutator order determines the minus sign.
