Gravitational contribution to fermion masses
arXiv:gr-qc/0506034 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s2005-02312-0
Abstract
In the context of a nonlinear gauge theory of the Poincaré group, we show that covariant derivatives of Dirac fields include a coupling to the translational connections, manifesting itself in the matter action as a universal background mass contribution to fermions.
