For this reason spin and spin^c structures are often introduced. In this paper we prove that spin^c structures have a universal property among all other structures that enable the construction of spinor bundles. We proceed to prove a similar result for metaplectic^c structures on symplectic manifolds.12 pagesDifferential GeometryA Universal Property of the Groups Spin^c and Mp^ctext
