The Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture for totally non-spin spin^c manifolds
Let be a closed connected totally non-spin spin manifold with , fundamental group , and classifying map
Let be the associated spin line bundle, let be the complex assembly map, and let be the periodization map. Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture, spin version. For , admits positive generalized scalar curvature if and only if
in . This is the spin analogue of the Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture, with the higher index class of the Mishchenko–Fomenko spin Dirac operator providing the obstruction. The supplied source does not state whether the conjecture is open or resolved.
