D-branes, B-fields and twisted K-theory
Abstract
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.
