Abstract

The Verlinde algebra, which mathematically appears in the theory of loop groups and is related to moduli spaces of bundles over curves, turns out to be describable in terms of K-theory. This is a joint discovery with M. Hopkins and C. Teleman. Here we explain in heuristic terms how this fits naturally into ideas about the Chern-Simons topological field theory.
