The authors develop a 2-component formalism for the splitting of the Einstein Lagrangian which is applicable to any \(4m\)-dimensional differentiable manifold admitting a pseudo-Riemannian metric of arbitrary signature without imposing any stringent topological requirements such as parallelizability. This is then applied to first-order gravity theory coupled with Dirac fields. Contents includes: an introduction; spin structures, spin-frames, and soldering forms; standard general relativity in the two-spinor formalism; and the global first-order spinor Einstein Lagrangian. The paper concludes with a 41 item list of references.
