Abstract: We survey the correct definition of a generalized Dirac operator on a Space--Time and the classical result about propagation of singularities. This says that light travels along light--like geodesics. Finally we show this is also true for generalized Dirac operators.

Review text

The author extends the results of \textit{N. Dencker} [J. Funct. Anal. 46, 351--372 (1982; Zbl 0487.58028)]; on the propagation of singularities of a real principal type system for a generalized Dirac operator. Contents include: An Introduction; The generalized Dirac operators on Lorentzian manifolds; Propagation of singularities; and References (four items).
