Abstract

The quintet of Dirac 4×44\times 4 matrices suggests that the fundamental dimension of the internal (spin) space is n=5n=5, instead of the conventional dimension n=4n=4. Then extending the usual 4×44\times 4 tetrads (vierbein), gravity is described in terms of the 5-bein (f\"unfbein or five legs). We discuss the properties of the spacetime geometry induced from this 5-leg Dirac spinor theory, where the spin connection contains 10×4=4010\times 4=40 elements instead of 24 elements in the tetrad formulation of the general relativity theory.
