  Abstract
This talk will focus on various definitions of orientability for non-smooth spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below. The stability of orientability and non-orientability will be discussed. As an application, we will prove the orientability of 4-manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and Euclidean volume growth. This work is based on a collaboration with E. Bruè and A. Pigati.
