M theory and twisted K theory
Abstract:
The talk will be focused on the relation between K theory and M theory and it's generalization to nonzero $B$ field. The main idea is a comparison of the long distance partition functions of the two theories. In the process we will outline a derivation of the (twisted) Atiyah - Hirzebruch spectral sequence from M theory. We will also discuss the relation between $SL(2,Z)$ duality and K theory.
