As I understand it, the spin of anything is with respect to the background spacetime. So I have to wonder if the spin of elementary particles depends on the background metric, on the number of dimensions of the background, or the expansion rate, or the curvature, etc. Or is spin independent of the background spacetime? Is there any connection between the symmetries of the Standard Model and the spin of elementary particles? Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
