Time reversal of a real neutral chiral vector interaction

ID: time-reversal-of-a-real-neutral-chiral-vector-interaction

Let with the unitary charge-conjugation matrix C, and . Hermitian-adjoint gamma identities give , and multiplication by gives the displayed identities. An antiunitary operator conjugates the explicit i in , which is essential to the second identity. Both vector and axial currents therefore have the same time-reversal component signs; their contraction with a similarly transforming neutral vector is invariant for real couplings.
