Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider the classical theory of the Dirac massive particle in the Riemann-Cartan spacetime. We demonstrate that the translational and the Lorentz gravitational moments, obtained by means of the Gordon type decompositions of the canonical energy-momentum and spin currents, are consistently coupled to torsion and curvature, as expected.
