Dirac-Kahler equation in curved space-time, relation between spinor and   tensor formulations
  A common view is that generalization of a wave equation on Riemannian space-time is substantially determined by what a particle is - boson or fermion. As a rule, they say that tensor equations for bosons are extended in a simpler way then spinor equations for fermions. In that context, a very interesting problem is of extension a wave equation for Dirac--K\"{a}hler field (Ivanenko--Landau field was historically first term, also the term a vector field of general type was used). The article relates a generally covariant tensor formalism to a spinor one when these both are applied to description of the Dirac-K\"ahler field in a Rimannian space-time. Both methods are taken to be equivalent and the tensor equations are derived from spinor ones. It is shown that, for characterization of Dirac-K\"ahler's tensor components, two alternative approaches are suitable: these are whether a tetrad-based pseudo tensor classification or a generally coordinate pseudo tensor one. By imposing definite restrictions on the the Dirac-K\"ahler function, we have produced the general covariant form of wave equations for scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and pseudovector particles.
