A spin-c connection on a spin-c structure: a pair of additive connections $\nabla^\pm$ on the positive/negative spinor bundles $S^\pm$, compatible with Clifford multiplication in the Leibniz sense $\nabla^-_v(\gamma(u)\psi) = \gamma(u)(\nabla^+_v\psi)$.

    The "difference" of two spin-c connections is recorded by a real $1$-form $a$ together with an imaginary factor $i$, so two spin-c connections differ by $i a \otimes \mathrm{id}_{S^\pm}$.

      The space of spin-c connections is an affine space over $\Omega^1(M)$: any two connections differ by a $1$-form, translation by $0$ is the identity, and translation is additive. This is the abstract statement that "any two spin-c connections differ by $ia \otimes \mathrm{id}_{S^\pm}$".

            A spin-c connection is determined by its induced connection on the determinant line bundle $L = \wedge^2 S^+$. The map sending a spin-c connection $A$ to the induced connection on $L$ is a bijection.
