Twisted K-theory and K-theory of Bundle Gerbes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we introduce the notion of bundle gerbe K-theory and investigate the relation to twisted K-theory. We provide some examples. Possible applications of bundle gerbe K-theory to the classification of D-brane charges in nontrivial backgrounds are briefly discussed.

A ug 1 99 9 Bundle gerbes : stable isomorphism and local theory
We consider the notion of stable isomorphism of bundle gerbes. It has the consequence that the stable isomorphism classes of bundle gerbes over a manifold M are in bijective correspondence with H3(M, Z). Stable isomorphism sheds light on the local theory of bundle gerbes and enables us to develop a classifying theory for bundle gerbes using results of Gajer on BC× bundles. AMS Classification sc...

متن کاملChern Character in Twisted K-theory: Equivariant and Holomorphic Cases
It was argued in [25], [5] that in the presence of a nontrivial Bfield, D-brane charges in type IIB string theories are classified by twisted Ktheory. In [4], it was proved that twisted K-theory is canonically isomorphic to bundle gerbe K-theory, whose elements are ordinary Hilbert bundles on a principal projective unitary bundle, with an action of the bundle gerbe determined by the principal p...
متن کاملGerbes, Clifford Modules and the Index Theorem
The use of bundle gerbes and bundle gerbe modules is considered as a replacement for the usual theory of Clifford modules on manifolds that fail to be spin. It is shown that both sides of the Atiyah-Singer index formula for coupled Dirac operators can be given natural interpretations using this language and that the resulting formula is still an identity.
متن کاملConstructions with Bundle Gerbes
This thesis develops the theory of bundle gerbes and examines a number of useful constructions in this theory. These allow us to gain a greater insight into the structure of bundle gerbes and related objects. Furthermore they naturally lead to some interesting applications in physics.
