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.

Spin structure on mapping torus
You can do this iff the spin structures $\mathfrak{s}$ and $f^*(\mathfrak{s})$ are isomorphic.
When $X$ is the 2-torus the set of Spin structures is naturally in bijection with $\mathbb{Z}/2 \oplus \ …

Spin structures and quadratic forms on surfaces
It is not quite true. There is an algebraic gadget one can produce from a Spin structure on a surface with boundary (where we fix the Spin structure along the boundary), and one gets a bijection from …

Pin$^+$ and Pin$^−$ structure for manifolds in any dimensions
The condition for having a $Pin^+$-structure is the vanishing of $w_2$, and for having a $Pin^-$-structure is the vanishing of $w_2 +w_1^2$, for manifolds of any dimension. This is because the Lie gro …
