What makes spacetime spin in string theory?
GSO projection consistency in Type II string theory requires the target space X to admit a spin structure (or G-equivariant spin structure for orbifolds), identified by computing the mixed bordism group Ω₃^spin(Bℤ₂ × X) and classifying corresponding theta angles.
