Review text

A method of quantization for half-integer spin fields is considered which is different from the usual one involving anticommutators and is consistent with the principle of relativistic causality, positive definiteness of the energy (for non-interacting fields), the Lagrangian formalism in Schwinger's formulation, and with invariance under TCP transformations. The main difference between the proposed method and the usual one is that the maximal occupation number is two. This article has been published in Soy. Phys. JETP 9, 1107-1111 (1959); translation from Zh. Èksper. Teor. Fiz. 36, 1560-1566 (1959). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0893.00046].
