Abstract

We investigate the geodesic motions of pseudo-classical spin- \(\frac{1}{2}\) point particles in the Euclidean Taub-NUT space. We derive the constants of motion from the solutions of the generalized Killing equations for spinning spaces and exploiting those the motion of pseudo-classical Dirac fermions are analyzed on a cone and plane.
