  Dirac fermion fields are responsible for spontaneous symmetry breaking in
gauge gravitation theory because the spin structure associated with a tetrad
field is not preserved under general covariant transformations. Two solutions
of this problem can be suggested. (i) There exists the universal spin structure
$S\to X$ such that any spin structure $S^h\to X$ associated with a tetrad field
$h$ is a subbundle of the bundle $S\to X$. In this model, gravitational fields
correspond to different tetrad (or metric) fields. (ii) A background tetrad
field $h$ and the associated spin structure $S^h$ are fixed, while
gravitational fields are identified with additional tensor fields $q^\la{}_\m$
describing deviations $\wt h^\la_a=q^\la{}_\m h^\m_a$ of $h$. One can think of
$\wt h$ as being effective tetrad fields. We show that there exist gauge
transformations which keep the background tetrad field $h$ and act on the
effective fields by the general covariant transformation law. We come to
Logunov's Relativistic Theory of Gravity generalized to dynamic connections and
fermion fields.
