Abstract

Given a Calabi-Yau manifold XX acted by a group GG and considering the BB-branes on XX as objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves, we give a definition of equivariant branes, which generalizes the concept of equivariant sheaves. We also propose a definition of equivariant charge of an equivariant brane. The spaces of strings joining the branes F{\mathcal F} and G{\mathcal G}, are the groups Exti(F,G)Ext^i({\mathcal F},\,{\mathcal G}). We prove that the spaces of strings between two GG-equivariant branes support representations of GG. Thus, these spaces can be decomposed in direct sum of invariant spaces for the GG-action. We show some particular decompositions, when XX is a toric variety and when XX is a flag manifold of a semisimple Lie group.
