K-theory provides a framework for classifying Ramond-Ramond (RR) charges and fields. K-theory of manifolds has a natural extension to K-theory of noncommutative algebras, such as the algebra considered in noncommutative Yang-Mills theory or in open string field theory. In a number of concrete problems, the K-theory analysis proceeds most naturally if one starts out with an infinite set of D-branes, reduced by tachyon condensation to a finite set. This suggests that string field theory should be reconsidered for N=infinity.

  1. Generalised Symmetries and Swampland-Type Constraints from Charge Quantisation via Rational Homotopy Theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Refining charge quantization via a homotopy type A yields swampland-like constraints ruling out noncompact gauge groups and non-nilpotent one-form Lie algebras, and requires A to be contractible for quantum gravity theories.
