We apply supersymmetric localization togauged linear sigma models on a hemisphere, with boundary conditions, ie, D-branes, preserving B-type supersymmetries. We explain how to compute the hemisphere partition function for each object in the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves, and argue that it depends only on its K theory class. The hemisphere partition function computes exactly the central charge of the D-brane, completing the well-known formula obtained by an anomaly inflow argument. We also formulate supersymmetric domain walls as D-branes in the product of two theories. In particular 4d line operators bound to a surface operator, corresponding via the AGT relation to certain defects in Toda CFT’s, are constructed as domain walls. Moreover we exhibit domain walls that realize the sl (2) affine Hecke algebra.
