Abstract: We present a new spectral scheme for analysing functions of half-integer spin-weight on the $2$-sphere and demonstrate the stability and convergence properties of our implementation. The dynamical evolution of the Dirac equation on a manifold with spatial topology of $mathbb{S}^2$ via pseudo-spectral method is also demonstrated.
