| Resumen en inglés | It is shown that the Riemann-Silberstein vector, defined as E + i B, appears naturally in the SL(2,C) algebraic representation of the electromagnetic field. Accordingly, a compact form of the Maxwell equations is obtained in terms of Dirac matrices, in combination with the null-tetrad formulation of general relativity. The formalism is fully covariant; an explicit form of the covariant derivatives is presented in terms of the Fock coefficients |
