SUMMARY:Projective Span of Wall Manifolds - Baylee Schutte (University of 
 Aberdeen)

DESCRIPTION:The projective span (pspan) of a smooth manifold is defined to
  be the maximal number of linearly independent tangent line fields. To ini
 tiate a study of projective span\, we have calculated the pspan of Wall ma
 nifolds\, which are certain mapping tori of Dold manifolds. In this talk\,
  we explore how the theory of Clifford algebras and their modules can be u
 sed to construct quasi-invariant vector fields on a cover of a Wall manifo
 ld\, for such vector fields descend to line fields on the quotient. This w
 ork is joint with Mark Grant as based on our preprint arXiv:2311.14107.
