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.

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 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 …

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 $Sq^2$. …
