Every supersymmetry text starts off mentioning the Coleman-Mandula theorem. Often it is introduced using rather colloquial terminology. I was wondering if anyone knew a precise mathematical formulation of the theorem.

$\begingroup$ Weinberg Volume 3 has a derivation of the theorem in the first (or maybe second) chapter. $\endgroup$ – Prahar Jan 21 '14 at 15:29

2$\begingroup$ I find that this paper is particularly accessible and constitutes a nice derivation of the individual elements of the proof. ippp.dur.ac.uk/~busbridge/files/documents/CMtheorem.pdf $\endgroup$ – Autolatry Jan 23 '14 at 14:04
