The Structure of the Spin^h Bordism Spectrum

Abstract

Spinh^h manifolds are the quaternionic analogue to Spinc^c manifolds. We compute the spinh^h bordism groups at the prime 2 by proving a structure theorem for the cohomology of the spinh^h bordism spectrum MSpinh\mathrm{MSpin}^h as a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra. This provides a 2-local splitting of MSpinh\mathrm{MSpin}^h as a wedge sum of familiar spectra. We also compute the decomposition of H(MSpinh;Z/2Z)H^*(\mathrm{MSpin}^h;\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}) explicitly in degrees up through 30 via a counting process.
