Commutativity and causal independence

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D, v. 8, no. 8, pp. 2729-2731
We show that the original question concerning the relation between causal independence and local commutativity by Haag and Kastler remains open. Ekstein has given an infinite-dimensional reducible example which shows that causal independence neither implies local commutativity nor necessarily follows from local commutativity, and we supply a finite-dimensional example of this interesting fact.
