| Summary:
|
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of two linearly independent sections in an 8-dimensional spin vector bundle over a CW-complex of the same dimension are given in terms of characteristic classes and a certain secondary cohomology operation. In some cases this operation is computed. (English) |
