With Fourier convention , the Transverse-field Ising model has . Expanding the spinor retains the constant and pairs with . The physical quasiparticle energy is twice the positive matrix eigenvalue times , because both momentum partners occur in the Nambu sum.
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.
