K-homology and D-branes

I shall present the construction of a certain geometric representation of KO-homology, the homological theory associated with KO-theory, inspired by the work of Paul Baum and Ronald Douglas on K-homology. I'll also discuss its application to the construction and classification of D-brane charges in the absence of a background B-field.
