Some Comments on Branes, G-flux, and K-theory
This talk was divided into 3 parts. In each part we describe how considerations related to D-branes and RR fields of type II string theory naturally lead to mathematics related to K-theory. Part one reviews some work done with D.-E. Diaconescu and E. Witten, and reported in . Here we review the way K-theory theta functions are related to M-theory partition functions. Part two reports on some wo...
متن کاملComments on D-branes in flux backgrounds
We construct supergravity solutions for D-branes in nontrivial flux backgrounds. We revisit the issue of charge quantization in this framework, and show that in these backgrounds, charge need not be quantized. We also show in a particular example that the semiclassical description of branes produces integral charges. e-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملRecent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments
This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory: a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present. It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory: An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.
متن کاملD-branes and K-theory
By exploiting recent arguments about stable nonsupersymmetric D-brane states, we argue that D-brane charge takes values in the K-theory of spacetime, as has been suspected before. In the process, we gain a new understanding of some novel objects proposed recently – such as the Type I zerobrane – and we describe some new objects – such as a −1-brane in Type I superstring theory.
متن کاملbranes , Orientifolds and K - theory
The complete D-brane spectrum in Z Z 2 orientifolds is computed. Stable non-BPS D-branes with both integral and torsion charges are found. The relation to K-theory is discussed and a new K-theory relevant to orientifolds is suggested.
