Holomorphic Yang-Mills fields on $B$-branes
Abstract
Considering -branes over a complex manifold as objects of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves over , we define holomorphic gauge fields on -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 -branes. For a given -brane, we show that its Atiyah class is the obstruction to the existence of gauge fields. When is the variety of complete flags in a -dimensional complex vector space, we prove that any -brane over admits at most one holomorphic gauge field. Furthermore, we establish that the set of Yang-Mills fields on a given -brane, if nonempty, is in bijective correspondence with the points of an algebraic set defined by complex polynomials of degree less than four in indeterminates, where is the dimension of the space of morphisms from the brane to its tensor product with the sheaf of holomorphic one-forms.
