A teleparallel reformulation of Dirac's equation or quantum electrodynamics for dummies

Dimitri Vassiliev
(University of Bath)
Abstract
The price we pay for this simplicity is that the change of variable
spinor --> coframe
makes the Dirac equation nonlinear. The morale of the talk is that, in our opinion, it is more natural to view the Dirac equation as a nonlinear equation for the unknown coframe rather than a linear equation for the unknown spinor.
