Scientific paper

In this review we show how K-theory classifies RR-charges in type II string theory and how the inclusion of the B-field modifies the general structure leading to the twisted K-groups. Our main purpose is to give an expository account of the physical relevance of K-theory and, in order to make it, we consider different points of view: processes of tachyon condensation, cancellation of global anomalies and gauge fixings. As a field to test the proposals of K-theory, we concentrate on the study of the D6-brane, now seen as a non-abelian monopole.
