RT Journal Article T1 Causality of a wave-equation and invariance of its hyperbolicity conditions A1 Fernández-Rañada, Antonio AB A characterization of the noncausal behavior of a covariant wave equation is given in terms of the invariance of the hyperbolicity conditions. Some examples in which the Dirac field is not causal are studied.
