Anomalies in string theory with D-branes
Jul, 1999Citations per year
Abstract:
We analyze global anomalies for elementary Type II strings in the presence of D-branes. Global anomaly cancellation gives a restriction on the D-brane topology. This restriction makes possible the interpretation of D-brane charge as an element of K-theory.- string model
