Fermionic creation and annihilation

Hi guys,
I consider fermionic holes and I know the creation and annihilation operators of them.

I have shown that \vec{S}= \sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{c}_{k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{c}_{k \nu} =...= \sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{h}_{-k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{h}_{ -k \nu}^{ }.
But I have to show that \vec{S}=\sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{h}_{k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{h}_{ k \nu}^{ }.

It would be nice if somebody has an idea how I can get rid of the minus sign.

THX
AbbyIs the sum maybe from minus infinity to plus infinity? Then I think I got it.

Yes, if there is no hard cut-off on the momenta.
 
So because k is from infinity to infinity I can write:
\vec{S}= \sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{c}_{k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{c}_{k \nu} =...= \sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{h}_{-k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{h}_{ -k \nu}^{ } <br /> <br /> = \sum\limits_{-k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{h}_{k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{h}_{ k \nu}^{ } \stackrel{(1)}{=}<br /> \sum\limits_{k \nu \mu} \frac{1}{2} \bf{h}_{k \mu}^{\dagger} \vec{\sigma}_{\mu \nu} \bf{h}_{ k \nu}^{ }.I would say (1) is true because if I regard the k from "-"infinity to "+"infinity:

\sum\limits_{-k}^{}f(k)=\sum\limits_{k}^{}f(-k)= \sum\limits_{k}^{}f(k)
Could somebody check my thoughts? Would be nice!

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

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!
