ABSTRACT

The following relation can be derived from equation (3) relying on the definition of the Ricci coefficients γmkl ,

Γ†αγ σ + γσΓα = −∇αγσ (7)

where ∇α is the symbol of the covariant derivative. Using this relation, one can easily check the identity

ψFψ − ψFψ = h 2πi

1√ g

∂xσ ( ψ √ gγσψ

) , (8)

where g is the absolute value of the determinant of the fundamental tensor gσ.
