Abstract

We construct the inequivalent irreducible representations (IIR's) of the CPT groups of the Dirac field operator ψ and the electromagnetic quantum potential A_μ. The results are valid both for free and interacting (QED) fields. Also, and for the sake of completeness, we construct the IIR's of the CPT group of the Dirac equation.
