Parity and the Spin-Statistics Connection

Physics Education 2008-11-26 v1 General Physics

Abstract

The spin-statistics connection is obtained in a simple and elementary way for general causal fields by using the parity operation to exchange spatial coordinates in the scalar product of a locally commuting field operator, evaluated at position x, with the same field operator evaluated at -x, at equal times.
