Now, the operation which contains the complex conjugation and commutes with the Hamiltonian is called the time-reversal operation. The one which anti-commutes is the charge conjugation, or particle-hole symmetry. Its exact definition is up to you, the important thing is that it's the symmetry which anti-commutes and contains a complex conjugation operation. | |
