Yang-Mills fields on B-branes

Abstract: Considering the

B

-branes over a complex manifold

Y

as objects of the bounded derived category

D^{b} (Y)

, we define holomorphic gauge fields on

B

-branes and the Yang-Mills functional for these fields.These definitions are a generalization to

B

-branes of concepts that are well known in the context of vector bundles. Given

, we show that the Atiyah class

is the obstruction to the existence of gauge fields on

. We determine the

B

-branes over

m a t h b b {C P}^{n}

that admit holomorphic gauge fields. We prove that the set of Yang-Mills fields on the

B

-brane

, if it is nonempty, is in bijective correspondence with the points of an algebraic subset of

{m a t h b b C}^{m}

defined by

m c d o t s

polynomial equations of degree

l e q 3

, where

and

s

is the number of non-zero cohomology sheaves

. We show sufficient conditions under them any Yang-Mills field on a reflexive sheaf of rank

1

is flat.
