The behavior of spin-1/2 particle in a weak static gravitational field is considered. The Dirac Hamiltonian is diagonalized by the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation providing also the simple form for the momentum and spin polarization operators. The operator equations of momentum and spin motion are derived for a first time. Their semiclassical limit is analyzed. The dipole spin-gravity coupling in the previously found (another) Hamiltonian does not lead to any observable effects. The general agreement between the quantum and classical analysis is established, contrary to several recent claims. The expression for gravitational Stern-Gerlach force is derived. The helicity evolution in the gravitational field and corresponding accelerated frame coincides, being the manifestation of the equivalence principle.

Foldy--Wouthuysen Transformation of the Generalized Dirac Equation in Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity
A Foldy-Wouthuysen reduction of the generalized Dirac equation in symmetric teleparallel gravity produces new spin-gravity, spin-momentum-gravity, and tidal couplings controlled by unknown parameters.
