Abstract

We present a method of classifying and constructing bundle prolongations on manifolds of the form M/Γ, where Γ is a discrete group, in terms of data on M, and apply it to two-dimensional closed surfaces. We describe all eight inequivalent double coverings of the pseudo-orthogonal group and use these for constructing pin structures on (products of) non-orientable manifolds.
