Since an interaction Lagrangian containing a covariant bilinear must contain also its Hermitian conjugate (the Lagrangian is Hermitian), it is invariant under CP. he minus sign in the transformation of V, A and P is compensated by a corresponding minus sign in the transformation of the fields to which they are coupled. he invariance under CP of any interaction Lagrangian containing a covariant bilinear is in agreement with the CP theorem, which says that CP is a symmetry of any relativistic local field theory. 3
