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.

Spin Structure on AdS- Schwarzschild manifold

The existence or nonexistence of a spin structure on a smooth manifold $M$ is a topological question, in that it does not depend on the choice of a Riemannian metric on $M$. Spin structures are obstru …

Spin-H structures

SpinH-structures were studied by Shiozaki-Shapourian-Gomi-Ryu for applications to condensed-matter physics. They prove in Lemma D.9 that a closed manifold $M$ admits a spinH-structure iff it's orienta …

Characterization of self-conjugate spin$^c$ structures

$\newcommand{\Spin}{\mathrm{Spin}}\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb{Z}}$Here's one way to think about the data of (self-conjugate) spin$^c$ structures. A spin$^c$ structure has the associated data of a class $c …

Discrete Pin structures

Here are some partial answers. For your first question: there are combinatorial formulas for all Stiefel-Whitney homology classes $w_k$, due to Whitney and rediscovered by Cheeger. Specifically, on a …
