where the additional term r(x, x') vanishes for finite lx-x'l and is an antisymmetrical function of x and x', and it does not contribute to commutators containing the integrated quantities P0 or Jok· For interacting spin 0, 1/2, 1 field systems, the above equation (1·1) holds without r (x, x'). Recently, Das2l has shown that for a free massless Majorana spin 3/2 field the above r (x, x') no longer vanishes for space-like separations when on,e quantizes the field following the method of Senjanovic3) in a Coulomb-type gauge. His explicit form of r (x, x') is 4)
