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.

Topological Spin manifolds in dimension 4

The map $\Omega_4^{\text{Spin}} \to \Omega_4^{\text{SpinTop}}$ is taken isomorphically by the signature to the inclusion $16\Bbb Z \hookrightarrow 8\Bbb Z$, so that the groups are abstractly isomorphi …

Obstruction of spin-c structure and the generalized Wu manifods

Define the Wu manifold $W(n) = SU(n)/SO(n)$, the inclusion $SO \to SU$ given by thinking of $\Bbb C^n = \Bbb R^n \otimes \Bbb C$ (that is, including real matrices into complex matrices). Note that $W( …
