Key Equations

$$[\hat{\mathcal{O}}(x), \hat{\mathcal{O}}(y)] = 0 \quad \text{for spacelike } (x-y)$$
$$[\hat{\phi}(x), \hat{\phi}(y)] = 0 \quad \text{for spacelike } (x-y)$$
$$[\hat{\bar{\psi}}(x)\hat{\psi}(x), \hat{\bar{\psi}}(y)\hat{\psi}(y)] = 0 \quad \text{for spacelike } (x-y)$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
