Abstract

For a compact smooth manifold with corners (or finite CW-complex) XX, we can prescribe a finite set of spin or spinh^h manifolds (possibly with boundary) mapping into it so that every real vector bundle over XX is determined, up to stable equivalence, by the Dirac indices of the real vector bundle when pulled-back onto those prescribed spin or spinh^h manifolds.
