Dirichlet Branes on Orbifolds

Abstract

The D-brane spectrum of a class of $\Zop_2$ orbifolds of toroidally compactified Type IIA and Type IIB string theory is analysed systematically. The corresponding K-theory groups are determined and complete agreement is found. The charge densities of the various branes are also calculated.
