Spinc structures and homotopy equivalences
Abstract
We show that a homotopy equivalence between manifolds induces a correspondence between their spinc-structures, even in the presence of 2-torsion. This is proved by generalizing spinc-structures to Poincare complexes. A procedure is given for explicitly computing the correspondence under reasonable hypotheses.
