Abstract:
Given a closed $n$-manifold ${M^n}$ and a tuple of positive integers $P$, let ${\sigma _P}M$ be the $P$-spin of $M$. If ${M^n} \not \backsimeq {S^n}$ and $P \ne Q$ (as unordered tuples), it is shown that ${\sigma _P}M\not \backsimeq {\sigma _Q}M$ if either (1) ${H_*}({M^n})\not \cong {H_*}({S^n})$, (2)${\pi _1}M$ finite, (3) $M$ aspherical, or (4) $n = 3$. Applications to the homotopy classification of homology spheres and knot exteriors are given.References
