In this paper we describe how Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves and locally free sheaves can be used to describe type II D-branes, in the case that all D-branes are wrapped on complex varieties and all connections are holomorphic. Our proposal is in the same spirit as recent discussions of K-theory and D-branes; within the restricted class mentioned, Grothendieck groups encode a choice of connection on each D-brane worldvolume, in addition to information about the smooth bundles. We also point out that derived categories can also be used to give insight into D-brane constructions, and analyze how a Z_2 subset of the T-duality group acting on D-branes on tori can be understood in terms of a Fourier-Mukai transformation.

  1. Categorified structures over moduli spaces: Anomalies, non-invertible symmetries, and exceptional holonomy

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper conjectures that non-invertible Ising and tricritical Ising symmetries organize closed string states and D-brane categories into categorical bundles over moduli spaces of exceptional holonomy compactifications.
