Abstract
The construction of twisted K-theory classes on a compact Lie group is reviewed using the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Wittenmodel on a cylinder. The Quillen superconnection is introduced for a family of supercharges parametrized by a compact Lie group and the Chern character is explicitly computed in the case of SU( 2). For large euclidean time, the character form is localized on a D-brane.
