Problem

Derive the Noether currents in (3.54) and (3.79) for complex scalars and fermions, respectively. In each case, use the canonical commutation rules in Appendix A to show that the associated Noether charges satisfy the Lie algebra commutation rules. Assume there are no interaction terms involving field derivatives.
