Title: Spin structure on SO(n)-principal bundles

Abstract: In this talk, intended as a partial fullfilment of the 
requirements for the NCG course, I will explore, via homotopy theory and 
Stiefel-Whitney classes, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the 
existence of a Spin structure over a smooth manifold.

Venue: Monday 16 February at 2.30 pm in lecture room 136
