摘要
We analyze the invariance of the Dirac equation under disformal transformations depending on the propagating spinor field acting on the metric tensor. Using the Weyl-Cartan formalism, we construct a large class of disformal maps between different metric tensors, respecting the order of differentiability of the Dirac operator and satisfying the Clifford algebra in both metrics. We split the analysis in some cases according to the spinor mass and the norm of the Dirac current, exhibiting sufficient conditions to find classes of solutions which keep the Dirac operator invariant under the action of the disformal group.
