Zusammenfassung:Dynamics of a Dirac particle in general Riemann–Cartan spacetimes is considered. The Hermitian Dirac Hamiltonian is derived and is transformed to the Foldy–Wouthuysen representation for an arbitrary spacetime geometry. The contribution of the torsion field to the Foldy–Wouthuysen Hamiltonian is found. The new bounds on Cartan’s spacetime torsion are obtained.
