D-branes, B-fields and Twisted K-theory
In this note we propose that D-brane charges, in the presence of a topologically non-trivial B-field, are classified by the K-theory of an infinite dimensional C∗-algebra. In the case of B-fields whose curvature is pure torsion our description is shown to coincide with that of Witten.
متن کاملConstructing D-branes from K-theory
A detailed review of recent developments in the topological classification of D-branes in superstring theory is presented. Beginning with a thorough, self-contained introduction to the techniques and applications of topological K-theory, the relationships between the classic constructions of K-theory and the recent realizations of D-branes as tachyonic solitons, coming from bound states of high...
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 کاملD-branes and Bivariant K-theory
We review various aspects of the topological classification of D-brane charges in K-theory, focusing on techniques from geometric K-homology and Kasparov’s KK-theory. The latter formulation enables an elaborate description of D-brane charge on large classes of noncommutative spaces, and a refined characterization of open string T-duality in terms of correspondences and KK-equivalence. The examp...
متن کاملD-branes and K-theory in 2D topological field theory
This expository paper describes sewing conditions in two-dimensional open/closed topological field theory. We include a description of the G-equivariant case, where G is a finite group. We determine the category of boundary conditions in the case that the closed string algebra is semisimple. In this case we find that sewing constraints – the most primitive form of worldsheet locality – already ...
