TL;DR Summary
If ##[A(x), j_{\{\lambda\}}(y)]=0## for ##(x-y)^2<0## then ##A(x)## is a local polynomial.
Hi, I'm reading Zavialov's book on QFT and there's a statement there I was interested in finding how to prove it. The statement is as follows:

If ##[A(x), j_{\{\lambda\}}(y)]=0## for ##(x-y)^2<0## then ##A(x)## is a local polynomial.

The relevant definitions are:
$$A = \sum_n \int A_n(x_1,\ldots, x_n) :\phi(x_1)\cdots\phi(x_n): dx_1 \cdots dx_n$$
$$j_{\{\lambda\}}(x)=:\phi_{(\lambda_1)}(x)\cdots \phi_{(\lambda_n)}(x):$$
$$\phi_{(\lambda_1)}(x) = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\right)^{(\lambda_i)}\phi(x)$$
and a local polynomial is just a linear combination of ##j_{\{\lambda\}}(x)##.

Does anyone have a proof of this fact?

This are the main thoughts I came up trying to prove the statement:

The first thing is that the book does not explicitly define ##A(x)##, but I think it is probably defined by the natural
$$A(x) = \sum_n \int A_n(x,x_1,\ldots, x_n) :\phi(x_1)\cdots\phi(x_n): dx_1 \cdots dx_n$$
From here the first thing I thought was that the commutator ##[A(x), j(y)]## reduces to know the value of the commutators
$$[:\phi(x_1)\cdots \phi(x_n):, j(y)]$$
And since the derivatives can be extracted from the commutator at the end we need to compute
$$[:\phi(x_1)\cdots \phi(x_n):, :\phi(y_1)\cdots \phi(y_m):]$$
Now, using the Wick theorem we can get rid of the normal ordering, and using the relation ##[A,BC]=B[A,C]+[A,B]C##, we should really be able to reduce everything to the commutator ##[A(x), \phi(y)]##. So, either I'm neglecting something important or the assumption ##[A,j]=0 \forall j## seems to be innecesary, just needing ##[A,\phi]=0##, no?

Then we can write the commutators
$$[\phi(x_1)\cdots \phi(x_n), \phi(y)] = \sum_{i=1}^n [\phi(x_i), \phi(y)] \phi(x_1)\cdots\phi(x_{i-1})\phi(x_{i+1})\cdots\phi(x_n)$$

My idea then is trying to prove that this sum cannot vanish unless each particular term vanishes. We know that ##[\phi(x_i), \phi(y)]## vanishes when ##(x_i-y)^2<0## so the condition ##[A,\phi]=0## would imply that the functions ##A_n(x,x_1,\ldots, x_n)## must vanish whenever ##(x_i-y)^2\geq 0##.
Since this must be true for all ##y## such that ##(x-y)^2<0## this implies that ##A_n(x,x_1,\ldots, x_n)## must be zero whenever ##x_i\neq x## and therefore all the functions ##A_n(x,x_1,\ldots, x_n)## would be linear combinations of ##\delta(x-x_i)## and their derivatives. Which would prove that ##A(x)## is a local polynomial.

I don't know if anyone knows if this is the right approach. The part that I think I'm more distant to actually prove (with some rigour) is to prove that indeed the sum cannot be zero unless each individual term, which seems plausible to me. But I have no clue.

If anyone knows the proof or wants to share any thoughts about it, I'd like to hear you.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
