Recently I have read one book where there was some incomprehensible proof of the Pauli's spin-statistics theorem. I want to ask about a few details of the proof.
First, the author derives commutation (anticommutation) relations like [ˆψ(x),ˆψ(x′)]± for arbitrary moments of time for scalar, E.M. and Dirac theory cases. He notices that all of them depend on the function D0=∫ei(p⋅(x−x′))sin(ϵp(t−t′))ϵpd3p(2π)3,ϵ2p=p2+m2, which (as it can be showed) is Lorentz-invariant. For example, it is not hard to show that for fermionic field [Ψ(x),Ψ†(x′)]+=(iγμ∂μ+m)D0(x−x′).
Second, he assumes that for the case of arbitrary integer spin 2n there exists a function Ψ(x), for which [ˆΨa(x),ˆΨ†b(x′)]±=F 2nab(∂∂x)D0(x−x′), and for the case s=2n+1 there exists a function Ψ(x), for which [ˆΨa(x),ˆΨ†b(x′)]±=F 2n+1ab(∂∂x)D0(x−x′), where Fkab refers to the ∂∂x polynomial of rank k and the author (at this stage of the proof) doesn't clarify the sign of commutator.
How can one argue such a generalization from spin 0,12 and 1 cases on the arbitrary cases of spin value? It is a very strong assumption, because formally it almost proves Pauli's theorem.
