Spin^c structures on manifolds with almost complex structure
Let $M$ be a smooth even-dimensional manifold.
Is it true that for each almost-complex structure $J$ on $M$ there exists a canonical spin$^c$ structure $S_J$ associated to $J$ ?
(I've read this som …

On a parallelizable manifold, is there always a frame satisfying $[X_i,X_j]=0$?
[This question was asked on MSE, but got no answers, I thought it could be more appropriate here]
Let $M$ be a parallelizable manifold.
Is there always a global frame $(X_i)$ such that $[X_i,X_j]=0 …

Open non-parallelizable 4-manifolds
Let $M$ be a connected orientable open 4-manifold (noncompact, without boundary).
Is it possible for $M$ to be non-parallelizable ?
If yes, what example of such $M$ is there ?
[EDIT : The answer …
