Abstract

It is argued that D-brane charge takes values in K-homology. For smooth manifolds with spin structure, this could explain why the phase factor Ω(x) calculated with a D-brane state x in IIB theory appears in Diaconescu, Moore and Witten's computation of the partition function of IIA string theory.
