Abstract

Interaction of the unified Einstein-Maxwell field with the Dirac spinor field is investigated. A variational principle is found which is of a first differential order and, contrary to the standard variational derivation of the Dirac equation, does not lead to any second type of constraints. The present Letter follows [3] it its description of the Einstein-Maxwell field and [4] in its description of the Dirac field.
