Abstract

Considering BB-branes over a complex manifold XX as objects of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves over XX, we define holomorphic gauge fields on BB-branes and introduce the Yang-Mills functional for these fields. These definitions extend well-known concepts in the context of vector bundles to the setting of BB-branes. For a given BB-brane, we show that its Atiyah class is the obstruction to the existence of gauge fields. When XX is the variety of complete flags in a 33-dimensional complex vector space, we prove that any BB-brane over XX admits at most one holomorphic gauge field. Furthermore, we establish that the set of Yang-Mills fields on a given BB-brane, if nonempty, is in bijective correspondence with the points of an algebraic set defined by mm complex polynomials of degree less than four in mm indeterminates, where mm is the dimension of the space of morphisms from the brane to its tensor product with the sheaf of holomorphic one-forms.
