Spin-c structures, which are a kind of complexification of Spin structures, turn out to be very useful in low-dimensional topology, especially when studying Heegaard Floer homology of 3-manifolds. However, the fact that there are several definitions of Spin-c structure, along with the fact that the proof of their equivalence is spread out on a number of Russian papers, can make it hard to understand them. After giving some motivations for Spin-c structures, I’ll try to go through some of the most popular definitions of them and to give an idea of why they are all equivalent.
