Spin structures of flat manifolds of diagonal type
Abstract
For each integer d at least two, we construct non-spin closed oriented flat manifolds with holonomy group Z2d and with the property that all of their finite proper covers have a spin structure. Moreover, all such covers have trivial Stiefel-Whitney classes.
