Abstract: Let $S$ be a $K3$ surface and $\operatorname {Aut}D(S)$ the group of auto-equivalences of the derived category of $S$. We construct a natural representation of $\operatorname {Aut}D(S)$ on the cohomology of all moduli spaces of stable sheaves (with primitive Mukai vectors) on $S$. The main result of this paper is the precise relation of this action with the monodromy of the Hilbert schemes $S^{[n]}$ of points on the surface. A formula is provided for the monodromy representation in terms of the Chern character of the universal sheaf. Isometries of the second cohomology of $S^{[n]}$ are lifted, via this formula, to monodromy operators of the whole cohomology ring of $S^{[n]}$.
