   Format: MarkdownItexin the section on O-plane charges I made explicit that the previous absolute numbers there must be understood in [[physical unit|units]] of the corresponding D-brane charge $q_{Dp}$, so that the second table of charges is indeed consistent with the first, using $q_{Dp} = 1/2$ (as befits the orientifolding). <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/orientifold+plane/18">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/orientifold+plane/18">v18</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/orientifold+plane">current</a>

   Format: MarkdownItexHere it says that: "* O-planes carry effective negative RR-charge which may (must) cancel against the actual RR- D-brane charge via RR-field tadpole cancellation.*" Wasn't there some discussion about $O^-$ and $O^+$ planes and how that requires a choice of sign in $KR$-theory?
