Abstract

The spinor covariant derivative through which the equations of quantum fields are generalized to include gravitational coupling has a direct and simple geometric significance. The formula for the difference of two spinor covariant derivatives taken in different order is derived geometrically; and the geometric proof of the covariant constancy of the spin-1/2 γ-matrices in curved space is given
