Abstract
Let F be a symplectic vector bundle over a space X. We construct a bundle of elementary C ∗-algebras over X, and prove that the Dixmier-Douady invariant of this bundle is zero. The underlying Hilbert bundles, with their associated module structures, determine a characteristic class: we prove that this class is the second Stiefel-Whitney class of F.
