Abstract

On globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds we construct field operators which satisfy the Dirac equation and have a causal anticommutator. Ambiguities in the construction are removed by formulating the theory in terms of C* algebras of local observables. A generalized form of the Haag-Kastler axioms is verified.
