Description
Based on the recently discovered K-theory description of D-branes in string theory a K-theory interpretation of the topology of gauge conditions for four-dimensional gauge theories, in particular 't Hooft abelian projection, is presented. The interpretation of the dyon effect in terms of K-1 is also discussed. In the context of type-IIA strings, D-p-branes are also interpreted as gauge fixing singularities. (author)
