Abstract

Here I obtain the conditions necessary for the conservation of the Dirac current when one substitutes the assumption γ  BA=0\gamma^A_{\ \ |B}=0 for γ  BA=[VB,γA]\gamma^A_{\ \ |B}=[V_B,\gamma^A], where the γA\gamma^As are the Dirac matrices and "|" represents the components of the covariant derivative. As an application, I apply these conditions to the model used in Ref. [M. Novello, Phys. Rev. {\bf D8}, 2398 (1973)].
