For questions about spin manifolds, the groups $\operatorname{Spin}(n)$, as well as generalisations such as $\operatorname{Pin}^{\pm}(n)$ and $\operatorname{Spin}^c(n)$. This tag should also be used for any questions about the geometry of spin manifolds, including questions involving Dirac operators and the Lichnerowicz formula.

Twisting Spinor Bundles with Line Bundles

In a paper I am reading, the following framework was given: Let $S$ be a spinor bundle, over a Riemannian manifold $M$, with Clifford action $$ c:S \otimes \Omega^1(M) \to S. $$ Moreover, let $E$ be …

Spin Structures for Quaternionic-Kaehler and Hyper-Kaehler Manifolds

As is well-known (see Friedrich's book for example) every Kähler manifold is spin (or at least spin$^c$) and the Dirac is given (up to a twist) by $\partial + \partial^*$. What happens in the quaterni …

Which Kahler Manifolds Are Spin?

As is well-known (see here for a M.O. question) all Kahler manifolds are $spin^c$. I would like to ask which are in fact $spin$. Taking my motivation from the case of complex projective space, I mak …

K-homology classes of Dirac operators on Hermitian manifolds

Given a compact Hermitian manifold $M$, we have three canonical pseudo-differential operators on the sections of complexified de Rham complex, namely 1) (d + d$^*,\Omega^{*})$ 2) ($\partial$ + $\p …

Lagrangian Grassmannian as a Spin Manifold

I am trying to better understand this nice answer to a question of mine, which states Spin structures on a compact complex manifold $(M^{2n},J)$ are in bijective correspondence with isomorphism cl …
