Prove or disprove that there exists no $G$ structure with its bordism group $\Omega_1^{G} =\mathbb{Z}/N$ for $N>2$
It can be found that there are the following bordism group $\Omega_0^{G}$ at $d=0$ and 1 dimensions by requiring $G$ structure for $d$-manifolds:
$$
\Omega_0^{SO} = \mathbb{Z} , \quad \Omega_1^{SO} = ...
