Are you referring to adjusted F-statistics, or adjusted F-values. The use of the F-distribution (F-values) in repeated measures designs is predicated on some rather restrictive assumptions regarding the nature of the variance-covariance matrix of the repeated measures. If that assumption is violated, then one may adjust the df using the results of Geisser and Greenhouse. This adjustment assumes a "maximum" violation. However, one can estimate the degree to which the assumption is violated and calculate a "constant" that is used to adjust the df for that particular situation. This "exact" adjustment is available in the SPSS Manova procedure using either of the two "epsilons".
