Delocalized Chern character for stringy orbifold K-theory

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we define a stringy product on Korb∗(XX)otimesC, the orbifold K-theory of any almost complex presentable orbifold XX. We establish that under this stringy product, the de-locaized Chern character ch_{deloc} : K^*_{orb}(XX) otimes C longrightarrow H^*_{CR}(XX), after a canonical modification, is a ring isomorphism. Here HCR∗(XX) is the Chen-Ruan cohomology of XX. The proof relies on an intrinsic description of the obstruction bundles in the construction of Chen-Ruan product. As an application, we investigate this stringy product on the equivariant K-theory KG∗(G) of a finite group G with the conjugation action. It turns out that the stringy product is different from the Pontryajin product (the latter is also called the fusion product in string theory).
