An orthonormal coframe in spacetime can be rotated by a position-dependent Lorentz matrix without changing the spacetime metric tensor. Its spin connection transforms as . A spinor field transforms through a chosen spin lift , not through the vector matrix . With , an infinitesimal parameter gives , where . Consistent global transition lifts require a spin structure; a spatial rotation lifts to minus the identity on spinors.
