Spin cobordism and the gauge group of type I/heterotic string theory

Abstract Cobordism offers a unique perspective into the non-perturbative sector of string theory by demanding the absence of higher form global symmetries for quantum gravitational consistency. In this work we compute the spin cobordism groups of the classifying space of Spin(32)/ℤ2 relevant to desc...
