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.

Different definitions of spin structures
As Liviu says, these properties follow from the usual definition of spin structures (in dimension 4). It's a little more work to prove that the existence of these bundles with Clifford multiplication …

Topology of the Universal Spinor Field Bundle
I think that much of what you want to know can be summarized in the question: how do you compare spin bundles for different metrics. This question, at least in the Riemannian setting, is treated with …

Harmonic spinors on closed hyperbolic manifolds
I'm happy to be able to answer my own question! John Ratcliffe, Steven Tschantz and I showed that the Dirac operator on the Davis manifold (a closed hyperbolic 4-manifold constructed by Mike Davis) ha …

Converse to Lichnerowicz Vanishing Theorem?
This is far from true! For a generic metric on a spin manifold of dimension at least 3, the kernel of the Dirac operator will be as small as it can be, subject to the index theorem. This was proved by …
