Spin structures on almost-flat manifolds

Abstract

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for almost-flat manifolds with cyclic holonomy to admit a Spin structure. Using this condition we find all 4–dimensional orientable almost-flat manifolds with cyclic holonomy that do not admit a Spin structure.

Keywords
almost-flat manifolds, infra-nilmanifolds, Spin structures
