The present, partly expository, monograph consists of three parts. The first part treats Spin- and Pin-structures from three different perspectives and shows them to be suitably equivalent. It also introduces an intrinsic perspective on the relative Spin- and Pin-structures of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono and Solomon, establishe…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of pin+, pin- and spin structures on Riemannian manifolds with holonomy group Z2kZ_2^k. For any n>3 (resp. n>5) we give examples of pairs of compact manifolds (resp. compact orientable manifolds) M_1, M_2, non homeomorphic to each other, that are Laplace isos…

In previous work, we introduced a natural A\mathcal{A}_{\infty}-structure on the Pin(2)\mathrm{Pin}(2)-monopole Floer chain complex of a closed, oriented three-manifold YY, and showed that it is non-formal in the simplest case in which YY is the three-sphere S3S^3. In this paper, we provide explicit descriptions of seve…

We introduce a diffeomorphism invariant of 44-manifolds, the Pin(2)\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)-monopole invariant, defined by using the Pin(2)\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)-monopole equations. We compute the invariants of several 44-manifolds, and prove gluing formulae. By using the invariants, we construct exotic smooth structures on the connecte…

We show that the only interesting correction terms of a $\mathrm{Pin}…

This report examines the Pinned AUC metric introduced and highlights some of its limitations. Pinned AUC provides a threshold-agnostic measure of unintended bias in a classification model, inspired by the ROC-AUC metric. However, as we highlight in this report, there are ways that the metric can obscure different kinds…

This paper generalizes two facts about oriented 3d TFTs to the unoriented case. On one hand, it is known that oriented 3d TFTs having a topological boundary condition admit a state-sum construction known as the Turaev-Viro construction. This is related to the string-net construction of fermionic phases of matter. We sh…
