Abstract

Twisted K-theory has received much attention recently in both mathematics and physics. We describe some models of twisted K-theory, both topological and geometric. Then we state a theorem which relates representations of loop groups to twisted equivariant K-theory. This is joint work with Michael Hopkins and Constantin Teleman.
