Some extensions of the Einstein-Dirac equation (Q857410)

The author considers a generalization of the standard functional for the Einstein-Dirac equation in which the Dirac operator is replaced by its square and a real parameter is introduced. It is shown that for a particular value of the parameter a new type of Einstein-Dirac coupling occurs, and a special method for constructing global smooth solutions of the new Einstein-Dirac equations is investigated. The resulting new systems are called the classical Einstein-Dirac equations of types I and II.
