The CPT theorem says that any Lorentz invariant local [[theories:quantum_theory:quantum_field_theory|quantum field theory]] with a Hermitian Hamiltonian must be CPT symmetric.

  * The standard reference is "PCT, spin and statistics, and all that" by R. F. Streater and A. S. Wightman.
  * For a nice discussion of the symmetry groups involved see [[https://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0012006|The Pin Groups in Physics: C, P, and T]] by M. Berg, C. DeWitt-Morette, S. Gwo, E. Kramer

The CPT theorem tells us that CPT symmetry holds for all physical phenomena.
