Commutation relation(s) for integrated operators

Suppose I have two operators $hat{A}$ and $hat{B}$, where $hat{A}=hat{a_1}+hat{a_2}+...+hat{a_m}$, and $hat{B}=hat{b_1}+hat{b_2}+...+hat{b_n}$. Is there a necessary and sufficient condition for $hat{a_1},hat{a_2},...hat{a_m}$ and $hat{b_1},hat{b_2},...hat{b_n}$...

How to partial trace over an odd number of Majoranas?

Say we have a Hilbert space of $2N$ Majoranas. Typically we pair the Majoranas $a_{2j},a_{2j+1}$ into complex fermion creation /annihilation operators$$c_j = (a_{2j}+ i a_{2j+1})/sqrt{2},quad c_j^dagger...
