Description
We characterize tensorially all first-order differential operators whose commutator with the massless Dirac operator is proportional to it on a general curved background in terms of skew-symmetric tensors satisfying conformally invariant generalizations of the Killing-Yano equations. The same problem is also solved for the massive charged Dirac equation on a general curved background
