On the generalised Lie derivative of (s)pinor fields

Although the action of diffeomorphisms on pinor (or spinor) fields is geometrically unambiguous, the definition of a natural Lie derivative is more subtle and requires some understanding of the geometry of the space of metrics at a point.

In this work we revisit the classical construction of Kosmann and Bourguignon-Gauduchon and develop the corresponding theory in generalised geometry.
