The only proofs of the C-M thm I know of are the original paper,
and the one in Weinberg Vol-III. Both essentially come under the
scope of (orthodox) axiomatic QFT.

I've heard vaguely that C-M thm (or something like it) also applies
within other formulations of QFT. If that's right, can anyone here
suggest references?

TIA,
