If the traceless matrix has eigenvalues and the Nambu spinor includes an opposite-momentum creation operator, a full-zone sum contains both partners. Its physical quasiparticle energy is , not . The negative term becomes a vacuum constant only after normal ordering. In the Ising-chain Nambu spinor, . A half-zone calculation instead groups one complete two-mode block; changing the momentum range without changing the normalization is inconsistent.
