Algebraic Aspects of Trilinear Commutation Relations

Abstract
An attempt is made to derive from the formalism of Schwinger's action principle, in a more convincing manner than previously described, a set of trilinear equal-time commutation relations which contains the commutation relations first discussed by H. S. Green as special cases. Matrix representations of field operators satisfying the trilinear commutation relations are considered. Two representations are explicitly discussed: a four-dimensional and an eight-dimensional representation. The representations considered and the bilinear equal-time commutation relations between the associated ``component fields'' obeying ordinary statistics are specified by irreducible representations of an algebra which is suggested by the trilinear commutation relations. The component fields associated with the same representation and of the same spin differ from each other in their bilinear equal-time commutation relations with other fields. This difference is reflected in the interactions into which the various fields can enter.
