1. "DiracWeyl". The fields are a solder form σ, a rank 1 covariant spinor ψ and the complex conjugate spinor ψ&conjugate0;. The energy-momentum tensor is the contravariant, symmetric rank 2 tensor:
Tij = i2σiAB'ψA ∇j ψ&conjugate0;B' − ψ&conjugate0;B'∇j ψA + σjAB'ψA ∇i ψ&conjugate0;B' − ψ&conjugate0;B'∇i ψA
and the matter field equations are the rank 1 contravariant spinors with components
EA = 1i σkAB' ∇kψ&conjugate0;B' and EB' = i σkAB' ∇kψA .
The divergence of the energy-momentum tensor is given in terms of the matter field equations by
