Generalised Spin^r Structures on Homogeneous Spaces

Spin and Spin({}^c) geometry (53C27) Differential geometry of homogeneous manifolds (53C30) Specialized structures on manifolds (spin manifolds, framed manifolds, etc.) (57R15)

Abstract: Spinorial methods have proven to be a powerful tool to study geometric properties of Spin manifolds. We aim to continue the spinorial study of manifolds that are not necessarily Spin. We introduce and study the notion of

G

-invariance of generalised Spin

^{r}

structures on a manifold

M

equipped with an action of a Lie group

G

. For the case when

M

is a homogeneous

G

-space, we prove a characterisation of the existence of these invariant structures in terms of a lift of the isotropy representation. As an application, we study the invariant generalised Spin

^{r}

structures for all the homogeneous realisations of the spheres.
