We study the importance of spin structures as defining data for 11d supergravity backgrounds form AdS$_4\times S^7/\mathbf{Z}_k$ with a free orbifold action. For generic choice action, there is only one structure that preserves invariant Killing spinors. There are, however, actions allow more than preserved In these cases two different should lead to distinct holographically dual 3d SCFTs amoun...
