Algebraic torsion of a Dirac field

ID: algebraic-torsion-of-a-dirac-field

Use and . For the symmetrized Dirac action , varying the spin connection gives . Only totally antisymmetric contorsion is sourced. Its action is , hence the stated solution. Substitution generates . The torsion is an auxiliary field, not an independent propagating degree of freedom.
