Essential dependence of the electron g-tensor on the quasiparticle momentum is a fundamental and, so far, largely overlooked property of antiferromagnetic conductors. It leads to a number of remarkable phenomena, such as excitation of spin flip transitions by AC *electric* field. Absorption intensity of these transitions exceeds that of the common electron spin resonance (ESR) at least by four orders of magnitude. I will discuss this and other peculiarities of electron magnetism in an antiferromagnetic conductor.

The predictions may be relevant to a number of antiferromagnetic conductors, ranging from chromium to borocarbides, from electron- and hole-doped cuprates to organic conductors with spin density wave, and to heavy fermion antiferromagnetic metals.
