A generally relativistic gauge classification of the Dirac fields

We consider generally relativistic gauge transformations for the spinorial fields finding two mutually exclusive but together exhaustive classes in which fermions are placed adding supplementary information to the results obtained by Lounesto, and identifying quantities analogous to the momentum vector and the Pauli-Lubanski axial vector. We discuss how our results are similar to those obtained by Wigner by taking into account the system of Dirac field equations. We will investigate the consequences for the dynamics and in particular we shall address the problem of getting the nonrelativistic approximation in a consistent way. We are going to comment on extensions.
