Abstract
An action principle is derived from the unitarity of the matrix. Assuming the usual asymptotic behavior of the renormalized interpolating fields, emission-absorption symmetry, and the Bose nature of the operator, one obtains the connection between spin and statistics and the quantization of the asymptotic fields. It is essential to the proof that the system have a nontrivial interaction, but one does not assume the relativistic invariance of the interacting system.
