    It is known that in the four-dimensional Riemannian space the complex bispinor generates a number of tensors: scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector, pseudo-vector, antisymmetric tensor. This paper solves the inverse problem: the above tensors are arbitrarily given, it is necessary to find a bispinor (bispinors) reproducing the tensors. The algorithm for this mapping constitutes construction of Hermitean matrix MM from the tensors and finding its eigenvalue spectrum. A solution to the inverse problem exists only when MM is nonnegatively definite. Under this condition a matrix ZZ satisfying equation M=ZZ+M=ZZ^{+} can be found. One and the same system of tensor values can be used to construct the matrix ZZ accurate to an arbitrary factor on the left-hand side, viz. unitary matrix UU in polar expansion Z=HUZ=HU. The matrix ZZ is shown to be expandable to a set of bispinors, for which the unitary matrix UU is responsible for the internal (gauge) degrees of freedom. Thus, a group of gauge transformations depends only on the Riemannian space dimension, signature, and the number field used. The constructed algorithm for mapping tensors to bispinors admits extension to Riemannian spaces of a higher dimension.Comment: 14 pages;LaTeX2e;to appear in the 9th Marcel Grossmann Meeting (MG9) Proceedings,Rome, July, 200
