We describe the free Dirac field in a four dimensional spacetime as a locally covariant quantum field theory in the sense of Brunetti, Fredenhagen and Verch, using a representation independent construction. The freedom in the geometric…

We investigate the behavior of the Dirac spinor fields in general relativistic high density stellar backgrounds and the possibility of spontaneous spinorization which is analogous to spontaneous scalarization. We consider the model with the…

K\"ahler-Dirac (KD) spinors have generated excitement in the lattice gauge theory community, as a way to (i) deal with the ``fermion doubling" problems that plague ordinary (Dirac, Majorana, or Weyl) spinors when discretized on a lattice,…

We employ the polar decomposition of the Dirac field to describe it as an effective spinorial fluid. We then construct a $(1+1+2)$ covariant formalism for the Dirac field that avoids the introduction of tetrad fields and Clifford matrices.…

We study a formulation of Dirac fermions in curved spacetime that respects general coordinate invariance as well as invariance under local spin-base transformations. The natural variables for this formulation are spacetime-dependent Dirac…
