	Derivative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Points on the graph of a function where the derivative is undefined or equals zero are called critical points or sometimes stationary points (in the case where the derivative equals zero).
		Derivatives are a useful tool for examining the graphs of functions.
		Perhaps the most natural situation is that of functions between differentiable manifolds; the derivative at a certain point then becomes a linear transformation between the corresponding tangent spaces and the derivative function becomes a map between the tangent bundles.

		Alternatively, the covariant derivative is a way of introducing and working with a connection on a manifold by means of a differential operator, to be contrasted with the approach via a connection form.
		The covariant derivative of a tensor field is presented as an extension of the same concept.
		Often a notation is used in which the covariant derivative is given with a semicolon, while a normal partial derivative is indicated by a comma.

	Lie derivative of spinors
		Now let's check how the Lie derivative on forms looks like when we think of forms as products of spinors: First of all we have L_v = {d,i_v} = {a^n nabla_n, v_n a^n} = v^n nabla_n + (nabla_n v_m)a^n a^m.
		That the same is not true in general for the Lie derivative, however, can be seen by similarly replacing creators/annihilators by Clifford generators in the above expression for the Lie derivative along v: L_v = v^n nabla_n + (nabla_n v_m)a*^n a^m = v^n nabla_n + (nabla_n v_m)(1/4)(y^n - i Y^n)(y^m + i Y^m).
		It is now obvious that this is the sum of two analogous operators L^S_v that induce the Lie derivative along the Killing vector v on each of the two spinor bundles: L^S_v = v^n partial_n + (nabla_n v_m)(1/8)[y^n, y^m].

	Re: Lie Derivative Of Spinor?
		In other words, any diffeomorphism of the manifold automatically lifts to a transformation of the bundle, giving rise to an action of the diffeomorphism group on the bundle, and thus on sections of the bundle.
		There might be some other way to define Lie derivatives of spinor fields, but it's bound to be a bit less "natural" - in the technical sense of that word.
		After all, we can run the argument backwards and use Lie derivatives for sections of a given bundle to define an action of (the connected component of) the diffeomorphism group on that bundle.

		Furthermore, it facilitates a relation with the Lie derivative which will later be essential, and it will allow us, using the simple trick of generalizing the notion of "transpose" which I explained in my post "What is This Thing Called Invariance?", to clear up a point which is left conspicuously unexplained in MTW.
		A fundamental aspect of the theory of Lie groups is that every Lie group (a nonlinear creature, if you like) is almost completely determined by an associated object called its Lie algebra (a linear creature, if you like, and thus much easier to work with).
		IOW, the subspace generated by A in the Lie algebra is a linear approximation to the unipotent (one dimensional) subgroup generated by P; in fact, it is the Lie algebra of this one dimensional Lie group.
