K-theory and 1-dimensional supersymmetric Euclidean field theories
by
Peter Ulrickson
The Catholic University of America

We describe the construction of spaces representing K-theory by means of certain functorial quantum field theories in such a way that precomposition of 1-d topological quantum field theories with a functor that forgets geometry induces group completion on classifying spaces of functor categories.
