A finite-dimensional construction of the Chern character for
twisted K-theory
[ Abstract ]
Twisted K-theory is a variant of topological K-theory, and
is attracting much interest due to applications to physics recently.
Usually, twisted K-theory is formulated infinite-dimensionally, and
hence known constructions of its Chern character are more or less
abstract. The aim of my talk is to explain a purely finite-dimensional
construction of the Chern character for twisted K-theory, which allows
us to compute examples concretely. The construction is based on
twisted version of Furuta's generalized vector bundle, and Quillen's
superconnection.
This is a joint work with Yuji Terashima.
