Abstract

Second quantization is revisited and creation and annihilation operators are shown to be related, on the same footing both to the algebra h(1), and to the superalgebra osp(1|2) that are shown to be both compatible with Bose and Fermi statistics. The two algebras are completely equivalent in the one-mode sector but, because of grading of osp(1|2), differ in the many-particle case. The possibility of a unorthodox quantum field theory is suggested.
