Abstract:
In a recent series of papers, Freed-Hopkins-Teleman have established a deep connection between twisted equivariant K-theory and integrable modules of affine algebras. In work with David Evans, we're showing that this is just one (central) spot of an interconnected web of K-groups and KK-groups naturally associated to affine algebras and their corresponding conformal field theories. My talk will be an overview of this work.
