D-branes are classified by twisted K-theory. Yet twisted K-theory is often hard to calculate. We argue that, in the case of a compactification on a simply-connected six manifold, twisted K-theory is isomorphic to a much simpler object, twisted homology. Unlike K-theory, homology can be twisted by a class of any degree and so it classifies not only D-branes but also M-branes. Twisted homology cl...
متن کاملExts and Vertex Operators
The direct product of two Hilbert schemes of the same surface has natural K-theory classes given by the alternating Ext groups between the two ideal sheaves in question, twisted by a line bundle. We express the Chern classes of these virtual bundles in terms of Nakajima operators.

We construct a canonical noncommutative spectral triple for every oriented closed Riemannian manifold, which represents the fundamental class in the twisted K-homology of the manifold. This so-called “projective spectral triple” is Morita equivalent to the well-known commutative spin spectral triple provided that the manifold is spin-c. We give an explicit local formula for the twisted Chern ch...
متن کاملGeometric Cycles, Index Theory and Twisted K-homology
We study twisted Spin-manifolds over a paracompact Hausdorff space X with a twisting α : X → K(Z, 3). We introduce the topological index and the analytical index on the bordism group of α-twisted Spin-manifolds over (X,α), taking values in topological twisted K-homology and analytical twisted K-homology respectively. The main result of this paper is to establish the equality between the topolog...
متن کاملEquivariant K-theory, twisted Chern character, index pairings, Poincaré duality and orientation for the standard Podleś sphere
The noncommutative spin geometry of the standard Podleś sphere is analyzed and known results are extended by establishing Poincaré duality and orientability. In the discussion of orientability, Hochschild homology is replaced by a twisted version which avoids the dimension drop. The twisted Hochschild cycle representing an orientation is related to the volume form of the distinguished covariant...
