X Abstract

It was shown by E. Witten \ref[J. High Energy Phys. <strong>1998</strong>, no. 12, Paper 19, 41 pp. (electronic); <A HREF="/msnmain?fn=105&fmt=doc&r=1&pg1=CNO&s1=1674715&loc=fromrevtext">MR1674715 (2000e:81151)</A>] that the D-brane charge in type IIB string theory over a space-time $M$ should be regarded as an element of a twisted $K$-theory group $K_[H](M)$, where $H$ is a global $3$-form associated to the $B$-field. Furthermore, in \ref[P. Bouwknegt et al., Comm. Math. Phys. <strong> 228</strong> (2002), no. 1, 17--45; <A HREF="/msnmain?fn=105&fmt=doc&r=1&pg1=CNO&s1=1911247&loc=fromrevtext">MR1911247 (2003g:58049)</A>], the authors and their collaborators provided a way to interpret the twisted $K$-theory within the category of bundle gerbes and stable isomorphisms. The paper under review discusses in detail the Chern-Weil term associated to the $K$-theoretic bundle gerbe, extending the construction of \ref[P. Bouwknegt et al., op. cit.] to the equivariant and holomorphic cases.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
