The matrices (eq:Wfull):

  1. are bisolutions of the full even and odd free operators;

  2. have the graded canonical antisymmetric part ;

  3. obey the positive-frequency wavefront upper bound componentwise.

They therefore define normalized contractions for compactly smeared free fields.

Proof. For the even matrix, the lower row equation uses , and the upper row reduces to . Right equations follow by adjunction. The odd field equations follow from .

The antisymmetric part is . The and parts follow from

The part vanishes because

For odd variables, graded antisymmetrization is ordinary symmetrization across the two odd slots. The upper cross entry gives

and the lower cross entry gives , exactly as in (eq:odd-green).

Differential operators in either slot do not enlarge the wavefront set.
