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.

Spinor bundle tensored with certain line bundle gives the dual spinor bundle
Let $E$ be a $spin^c$ bundle and $L_E$ be a (complex) line bundle defined using transition functions $\nu \circ g_{U,V}$ where $\nu:spin^c(n) \to \mathbb{T}$ is map such that $\ker \nu=spin(n)$ and $g …

First Chern class of a specific line bundle
Let $E$ be a spin$^c$ bundle and $spin^c(E)$ the corresponding $spin^c(n)$-principial bundle. Let $g_{U,V}: U \cap V \to spin^c(n)$ denote transition functions for this principial bundle and consider …

Dixmier-Douady class is the third integral Stiefel-Whitney class
Let $M$ be (say smooth) manifold. From the short exact sequence of groups $0 \to \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}_2 \to 0$ (where the first map is multiplication by $2$) one obtain long exact …

Second Stiefel-Whitney class as an obstruction to the existence of spin structure
Let $M$ be an oriented (closed) Riemannian manifold. Choose a good open cover and local trivialisations of the tangent bundle $U_i$. Then we get a system of transition functions $\varphi_{ij}: U_i \ca …

Commutative spectral triples
The corresponence between compact Hausdorff topological spaces and commutative unital $C^*$-algebras is rather well known: Gelfand Najmark theorem gives perfect correspondence between these categories …

Norm of the operator acting on spinor bundle
Please forgive me if the question is too elementary, but however I was unable to manage by myself. The question comes from J.Varilly, H.Figueroa and J. Gracia-Bondia book "Elements of noncommutative g …

Element in spin group
I've got the following question: why is it true (if it really is?), that if I have a unitary element $u$ in the (real) Clifford algebra $Cl(V,g)$ which is even and the operator $\varphi(u)$ defined vi …

Norms on Clifford algebra (C^* norm)
Basically I'm interested in operator algebras such as $C^*$ or von Neumann algebras. However I decided to learn a bit about noncommutative geometry (in particular spectral triples). Before doing this …
