K-theory, D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields
This thesis is dedicated to the study of K-theoretical properties of D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields. We construct abelian groups which define a homology theory on the category CW-complexes, and prove that this homology theory is equivalent to the bordism 3n of KO-homology, the dual theory to KO-t...
