In this paper we study the K-groups $K_{\tG_n}(X^n)$ of $\Gn$-equivariant Clifford supermodules on $X^n$. We show that $\tFG =\bigoplus_{n\ge 0}K_{\tG_n}(X^n) \otimes \C$ is a Hopf algebra and it is isomorphic to the Fock space of a twisted Heisenberg algebra. Twisted vertex operators make a natural appearance. The algebraic structures on $\tFG$, when $\G$ is trivial and X is a point, specialize to those on a ring of symmetric functions with the Schur Q-functions as a linear basis. As a by-product, we present a novel construction of K-theory operations using the spin representations of the hyperoctahedral groups.}, number={1}, journal={COMMUNICATIONS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS}, author={Wang, WQ}, year={2003}, month={Mar}, pages={101–127} } @article{jing_wang_2002, title={Twisted vertex representations and spin characters}, volume={239}, ISSN={["0025-5874"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0036012928&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1007/s002090100340}, abstractNote={We establish a new group-theoretic realization of the basic representations of the twisted affine and twisted toroidal algebras of ADE types in the same spirit of our new approach to the McKay correspondence.

For each finite group $\Gamma$ and a virtual character of $\Gamma$, we construct twisted vertex operators on the Fock space spanned by the super spin characters of the spin wreath products $\Gamma\wr \tilde {S}_n$ of $\Gamma$ and a double cover of the symmetric group $S_n$ for all $n$. When $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb {C})$ with the McKay virtual character, our construction gives a group-theoretic realization of the basic representations of the twisted affine and twisted toroidal Lie algebras. When $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary finite group and the virtual character is trivial, our vertex operator construction yields the spin character tables for $\Gamma\wr \tilde {S}_n$.}, number={1}, journal={Duke Mathematical Journal}, author={Frenkel, I.
