Abstract:
A twisted version of Furuta's generalized vector bundle provides a finite-dimensional model of twisted $K$-theory. We generalize this fact involving actions of Clifford algebras. As an application, we show that an analogy of the Atiyah-Singer map for the generalized vector bundles is bijective. Furthermore, a finite-dimensional model of twisted $K$-theory with coefficients $\Z/p$ is given.
