The Dirac equation in general relativity, a guide for calculations

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2019-03-26 v1

Abstract

In these informal lecture notes we outline different approaches used in doing calculations involving the Dirac equation in curved spacetime. We have tried to clarify the subject by carefully pointing out the various conventions used and by including several examples from textbooks and the existing literature. In addition some basic material has been included in the appendices. It is our hope that graduate students and other re- searchers will find these notes useful.
