Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In this paper we find the conditions for the existence of Majorana spinors on unoriented surfaces. We prove that a Majorana spinor exists on these surfaces if and only if its genus is an odd integer. We enumerate the different real spin structures and we comment on their parity classification. Potentially interesting applications are pointed out.
