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.

What is the "quaternionic" super Brauer group?

The Brauer-Picard 2-category of $SuperVect_{\mathbb R}$ (let's call it $sBrPic_\mathbb R$) is the homotopy fixed points of the Brauer-Picard 2-category of $SuperVect_{\mathbb C}$ w.r.t. the involution …

Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro Orientation

A point in the $n$th space of $MSpin$ is an $n$-dimensional manifold equipped with a spin structure. In other words, it is a manifold equipped with a bundle of bimodules between the Clifford algebra o …

What are "good" examples of spin manifolds?

If you know about Steenrod operations, here's a very convenient characterization: A manifold $M$ is Spin iff its Poincare duality in $H^*(M,\mathbb Z/2)$ is compatible with $Sq^1$ and $Sq^2$. …
