Spinor covariant derivative

ID: spinor-covariant-derivative

Lift the Levi-Civita connection to the spinor bundle using the spin representation of the Lorentz algebra. Under a local Lorentz transformation, its matrix obeys , so . The Clifford algebra identity fixes the coefficient. The tetrad postulate then gives , establishing compatibility with curved Clifford multiplication.
