Bondwise cancellation of a Jordan-Wigner string (4Snx​Sn+1x​=(cn†​−cn​)(cn+1†​+cn+1​))

For Sn+​=Pn​cn​ with Pn​=∏m<n​(1−2cm†​cm​), neighbouring Jordan–Wigner transformation strings differ by only the local parity factor. The canonical anticommutation relations give (cn​+cn†​)(1−2cn†​cn​)=cn†​−cn​, proving the displayed local spin identity. The closing bond of a periodic chain instead retains total fermion parity; cancellation on bulk bonds does not justify discarding that global sector.
