Abstract
Granted customary definitions, the operations of juggling indices and covariant differentiation do not commute with one another in a Weyl space. The same noncommutativity obtains in the spinor calculus of Infeld and van der Waerden. Gauge-invariant and phase-invariant calculations therefore tend to be rather cumbersome. Here, a modification of the definition of covariant derivative leads immediately to a manifestly gauge-invariant and phase-invariant version of Weyl–Cartan space and of the two-spinor calculus associated with it in which the metric tensor and the metric spinor are both covariant constant.
