contents We establish global existence and derive sharp pointwise decay estimates of solutions to cubic Dirac and Dirac-Klein-Gordon systems on a curved background, close to the Minkowski spacetime. By squaring the Dirac operator, we reduce the analysis to a nonlinear wave-type equation involving spinorial connections, and apply energy estimates based on vector field methods and the hyperboloidal foliation framework, introduced by LeFloch-Ma. A key difficulty arises from the commutator structure of the Dirac operator, which exhibits significantly different behaviour from that of scalar field equations and requires refined control throughout the analysis, particularly due to the spacetime-dependent gamma matrices, which reduce to constant matrices in the flat Minkowski spacetime.
