The Lie derivative of spinor fields: theory and applications
Marco Godina, Paolo Matteucci
Starting from the general concept of a Lie derivative of an arbitrary differentiable map, we develop a systematic theory of Lie differentiation in the framework of reductive G-stru…
Reductive G-structures and Lie derivatives
Marco Godina, Paolo Matteucci
Reductive G-structures on a principal bundle Q are considered. It is shown that these structures, i.e. reductive G-subbundles P of Q, admit a canonical decomposition of the pull-ba…
Metric-affine gravity and the Nester-Witten 2-form
Marco Godina, Paolo Matteucci, James A. Vickers
In this paper we redefine the well-known metric-affine Hilbert Lagrangian in terms of a spin-connection and a spin-tetrad. On applying the Poincaré-Cartan method and using the geom…
Two-spinor Formulation of First Order Gravity coupled to Dirac Fields
Marco Godina, Paolo Matteucci, Lorenzo Fatibene +1
Two-spinor formalism for Einstein Lagrangian is developed. The gravitational field is regarded as a composite object derived from soldering forms. Our formalism is geometrically an…

Gauge Formalism for General Relativity and Fermionic Matter
Lorenzo Fatibene, Marco Ferraris, Mauro Francaviglia +1
A new formalism for spinors on curved spaces is developed in the framework of variational calculus on fibre bundles. The theory has the same structure of a gauge theory and describ…
