Notes:
The algebraic method of separation of variables in the Dirac equation proposed in earlier works by one of the present authors [Theor. Math. Phys. 70, 204 (1987); J. Math. Phys. 30, 2132 (1989)] is developed for the space-time with nondiagonal metrics. The essence of the method consists of the separation of the first-order matricial differential operators that define the dependence of the Dirac's bispinor on the related variables. In contrast to some other authors the pairs of operators are commuted on each step of separation including the variables mixed by nondiagonal elements of fundamental tensor of space-time. There are reasons to believe that it must be some local similarity transformation connected these commuted operators with noncommuted corresponding operators of other authors, although such transformation in view of mathematical difficulties of problem, in general, were not successfully found.
