In analogy to how the Lie group spin^c is obtained by twisting the lift through the second stage of the Whitehead tower of by the first Chern class
there is a similar twist by the second Chern class of the lift through the next stage of the Whitehead tower
Accordingly a lift of the structure group to is a -structure.
For the moment see at twisted smooth cohomology in string theory for more.
Topological -structures were introduced
and shown to induce a twisted Witten genus in
