Idea

What is called Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dirac theory in physics is the theory/model (in theoretical physics) describing gravity together with Yang-Mills fields and coupled to fermionic matter.

Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dirac theory is a local Lagrangian field theory defined by the action functional which is the Einstein-Hilbert action plus the Yang-Mills action functional involving the given metric,

S G+YM:(e,,ψ) XR(e)vol(e)+ XF eF + X(ψ,D e,ψ), S_{G+YM} \; \colon \; (e, \nabla, \psi) \mapsto \int_{X} R(e) vol(e) + \int_X \langle F_\nabla \wedge \star_e F_\nabla\rangle + \int_X (\psi, D_{e,\nabla} \psi) \,,
