We discuss aspects of topological B-type D-branes in the framework of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold X. We analyze the link between massless D-branes and monodromies in the CFT moduli space. A classification…
The derived category of bounded complexes of coherent sheaves is one of the most important algebraic invariants of a smooth projective variety. An important approach to understand derived categories is to construct full strongly exceptional…
We prove that every holomorphic vector bundle on a noncommutative two-torus $T$ can be obtained by successive extensions from standard holomorphic bundles considered in math.QA/0211262. This implies that the category of holomorphic bundles…
On a complex manifold, a co-Higgs bundle is a holomorphic vector bundle with an endomorphism twisted by the tangent bundle. The notion of generalized holomorphic bundle in Hitchin's generalized geometry coincides with that of co-Higgs…
A family of holomorphic vector bundles is constructed on a complex manifold $X$. The space of the holomorphic sections of these bundles are calculated in certain cases. As an application, if $X$ is an $N$-dimensional compact K\"ahler…
The main objective of the present paper is to set up the theoretical basis and the language needed to deal with the problem of direct images of hermitian vector bundles for projective non-necessarily smooth morphisms. To this end, we first…
We develop a framework for describing vector bundles on $\mu_n$-gerbes over curves and illustrate the construction through two detailed examples. Using the interpretation of Brauer classes as obstructions to descending determinantal line…
In this article we introduce a notion of logarithmic co-Higgs sheaves associated to a simple normal crossing divisor on a projective manifold, and show their existence with nilpotent co-Higgs fields for fixed ranks and second Chern classes.…
In this paper we establish an equivalence between the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W and the triangulated category of singularities of the fiber of W over zero. The main…
We construct a full exceptional collection consisting of vector bundles in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the so-called Cayley Grassmannian, the subvariety of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(3, 7)$ parameterizing 3-subspaces that…
We "solve" the Freed-Witten anomaly equation, i.e., we find a geometrical classification of the B-field and A-field configurations in the presence of D-branes that are anomaly-free. The mathematical setting being provided by the geometry of…
The standard covariant differentiation procedure for fields in vector bundles is generalised so as to be applicable to fields in general nonaffine bundles in which the fibres may have an arbitrary nonlinear structure. In addition to the…
Starting point of the present work is a conjecture of F. Catanese which says that in the derived category of coherent sheaves on any rational homogeneous manifold G/P there should exist a complete strong exceptional poset and a bijection of…
The compactification from the 11-dimensional Horava-Witten orbifold to 5-dimensional heterotic M-theory on a Schoen Calabi-Yau threefold is reviewed, as is the specific $SU(4)$ vector bundle leading to the "heterotic standard model" in the…
We study the derived categories of coherent sheaves of weighted projective spaces and their noncommutative deformations, and the derived categories of Lagrangian vanishing cycles of their mirror Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, we…
A classification of the possible symmetric principal bundles with a compact gauge group, a compact symmetry group and a base manifold which is regularly foliated by the orbits of the symmetry group is derived. A generalization of Wang's…
In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…
We introduce a new class of gauge field theories in any complex dimension, based on algebra-valued (p,q)-forms on complex n-manifolds. These theories are holomorphic analogs of the well-known Chern-Simons and BF topological theories defined…
We construct a full exceptional collection of vector bundles in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the Grassmannian $\mathrm{IGr}(3,8)$ of isotropic 3-dimensional subspaces in an 8-dimensional symplectic vector space.
We discuss gauge-fixing, propagators and effective potentials for topological A-brane composites in Calabi-Yau compactifications. This allows for the construction of a holomorphic potential describing the low-energy dynamics of such…
