Problem

Derive the anticommutation relations for fermion creation and annihilation operators {ai,aj}=0,{ai†,aj†}=0,{ai,aj†}=δij\{a_i, a_j\} = 0, \quad \{a_i^\dagger, a_j^\dagger\} = 0, \quad \{a_i, a_j^\dagger\} = \delta_{ij} starting from the definition of the creation operators via Slater determinants (equation (1.4.4)) and the properties of the antisymmetrized states.
