I asked this question on math stack exchange here, but I wonder if it would be better received here. Let $\pi:P\rightarrow M$ and $\pi':P'\rightarrow M$ be principal $G$ and $H$ bundles respectively, ...

Previously I mentioned in Automorphism group of a Lie group $G$ vs that of a double covering group $\tilde{G}$: same or not? that the automorphism group of a Lie group 𝐺 may be the same as that of ...

Atiyah, Bott, and Shapiro paper on Clifford Modules around page 10 shows two facts. 1 - There is a lift $U(n) \to Spin^c(2n)$ from $U(n) \to SO(2n)\times U(1)$. Also an embedding (injective group ...

My goal is to identify the $Pin$ group $$ 1 \to Spin(n) \to Pin^{\pm}(n) \to \mathbb{Z}_2 \to 1 $$ such that $Pin^{\pm}(n)$ are isomorphisms to other more familiar groups. My trick is that to look at ...
