Title: Linear Sigma Model Toolshed for D-brane Physics

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/787182· OSTI ID:787182

Building on earlier work, we construct linear sigma models for strings on curved spaces in the presence of branes. Our models include an extremely general class of brane-worldvolume gauge field configurations. We explain in an accessible manner the mathematical ideas which suggest appropriate worldsheet interactions for generating a given open string background. This construction provides an explanation for the appearance of the derived category in D-brane physic complementary to that of recent work of Douglas.
