From the question https://www.physicsoverflow.org/32208, Mr Ryan Thorngren said in the answer that the the framing anomaly of the gravitational Chern-Simons action
I(g)=14π∫MTr(ω∧dω+23ω∧ω∧ω)
i.e. it changes under a twist of framing on M by I(g)→I(g)+2πs with s∈Z, is related with the group H3Spin(3)=Z.
1. What is this group H3Spin(3)?
2. Why is it isomorphic to Z?
3. How exactly is it related with the change of Pontryagin class under a change of framing on M?
They also talked about Ωfr3=Z24.
4. What exactly is this Ωfr3?
