Spinors on a manifold are introduced without any metric background fixing. A classical field theory is built to describe interaction with gauge and gravity in the framework of variational calculus on (gauge-natural) bundles. Gravity is here described by new variables called spin-frames.

Why metrics? Is the metric the most fundamental description for gravity?

Abstract

Spinors on a manifold are introduced without any metric background fixing. A classical field theory is built to describe interaction with gauge and gravity in the framework of variational calculus on (gauge-natural) bundles. Gravity is here described by new variables called spin-frames.
