Spin Structures on Generalized Real Bott Manifolds (2111.09585v3)
Published 18 Nov 2021 in math.AT
Abstract: In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized real Bott manifold to have a Spin structure in terms of column vectors of the associated matrix. We also give an interpretation of this result to the associated acyclic $\omega$-weighted digraphs. Using this, we obtain a family of real Bott manifolds that does not admit Spin Structure.
