相关论文: The Structure of the Spin^h Bordism Spectrum

In this article, we answer two questions of Buchanan-McKean (arXiv:2312.08209) about bordism for manifolds with spin$^h$ structures: we establish a Smith isomorphism between the reduced spin$^h$ bordism of $\mathbb{RP}^\infty$ and…

A classic result of Anderson, Brown, and Peterson states that the cobordism spectrum MSpin (respectively, MSpin$^c$) splits as a sum of Eilenberg--Mac Lane spectra and connective covers of real K-theory (respectively, complex K-theory) at…

We investigate the structure of Spin-$G$ bordism groups, focusing on the interplay between Spin and additional twisting symmetries such as $Sp(4)$, $SU(8)$ and $Spin(16)$. Using techniques from spectral sequences, obstruction theory, and…

We calculate the mod $2$ spin$^c$-cobordism ring up to uniform $F$-isomorphism (i.e., inseparable isogeny). As a consequence we get the prime ideal spectrum of the mod $2$ spin$^c$-cobordism ring. We also calculate the mod $2$…

Spinor structure is understood as a totality of tensor products of biquaternion algebras, and the each tensor product is associated with an irreducible representation of the Lorentz group. A so-defined algebraic structure allows one to…

We determine the mod $2$ cohomology over the Steenrod algebra of the classifying spaces of the free loop groups $LG$ for compact groups $G=Spin(7)$, $Spin(8)$, $Spin(9)$, and $F_4$. Then, we show that they are isomorphic as algebras over…

Cobordism offers a unique perspective into the non-perturbative sector of string theory by demanding the absence of higher form global symmetries for quantum gravitational consistency. In this work we compute the spin cobordism groups of…

The concept of a ${\rm Spin}^h$-manifold, which is a cousin of Spin- and ${\rm Spin}^c$-manifolds, has been at the center of much research in recent years. This article discusses some of the highlights of this story.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of pin+, pin- and spin structures on Riemannian manifolds with holonomy group $Z_2^k$. For any n>3 (resp. n>5) we give examples of pairs of compact manifolds (resp. compact…

We show that the 2-local splitting of spin$^c$ bordism by Anderson--Brown--Peterson and Stong refines to a $C_2$-equivariant map in the category of spectra with $C_2$-action from Real spin bordism to a sum of (higher) connective covers of…

It is shown that every bundle $\varSigma\to M$ of complex spinor modules over the Clifford bundle $\Cl(g)$ of a Riemannian space $(M,g)$ with local model $(V,h)$ is associated with an lpin ("Lipschitz") structure on $M$, this being a…

We classify spin structures on the noncommutative torus, and find that the noncommutative n-torus has 2^n spin structures, corresponding to isospectral deformations of spin structures on the commutative n-torus. For n>3 the classification…

The Madsen-Tillmann spectra defined by categories of three- and four-dimensional Spin manifolds have a very rich algebraic structure, whose surface is scratched here.

The question of which manifolds are spin or spin^c has a simple and complete answer. In this paper we address the same question for spin^h manifolds, which are less studied but have appeared in geometry and physics in recent decades. We…

In the presence of a nonzero B-field, the symmetries of the $\mathrm E_8\times \mathrm E_8$ heterotic string form a 2-group, or a categorified group, as do the symmetries of the CHL string. We express the bordism groups of the corresponding…

We define a measure of spectral asymmetry for G_2 and Spin(7) manifolds. We show that this invariant can be computed in terms of characteristic classes and the covariant constant form defining the G_2 or Spin(7) structure.

For the split group $G_{2}$ defined over $\mathbb{Z},$ we show that the de Rham cohomology ring of $B(G_{2})_{\mathbb{F}_{2}}$ is isomorphic to the singular cohomology ring with $\mathbb{F}_{2}$-coefficients of $B(G_{2})_{\mathbb{C}}.$ For…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented spin$^{c}$ manifold of dimension $(8n {+} 2)$ with fundamental class $[M]$, and let $\rho_{2} \colon H^{4n}(M; \mathbb{Z}) \rightarrow H^{4n}(M; \mathbb{Z}/2)$ denote the $\bmod ~ 2$ reduction homomorphism. For…

We study a three-dimensional differential calculus on the standard Podles quantum two-sphere S^2_q, coming from the Woronowicz 4D+ differential calculus on the quantum group SU_q(2). We use a frame bundle approach to give an explicit…

We compute topological Hochschild homology of sufficiently structured forms of truncated Brown--Peterson spectra with coefficients. In particular, we compute $\mathrm{THH}_*(B\langle n\rangle ;H\mathbb{Z}_{(p)})$ for all $n$ and…
