Abstract

We study the homotopy category hmf(R,W)\mathrm{hmf}(R,W) of matrix factorizations of non-zero elements WR×W\in R^\times, where RR is an elementary divisor domain. When RR has prime elements and WW factors into a square-free element W0W_0 and a finite product of primes of multiplicity greater than one and which do not divide W0W_0, we show that hmf(R,W)\mathrm{hmf}(R,W) is triangle-equivalent with an orthogonal sum of the triangulated categories of singularities Dsing(An(p))\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm sing}(A_n(p)) of the local Artinian rings An(p)=R/pnA_n(p)=R/\langle p^n\rangle, where pp runs over the prime divisors of WW of order n2n\geq 2. This result holds even when RR is not Noetherian. The triangulated categories Dsing(An(p))\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm sing}(A_n(p)) are Krull-Schmidt and we describe them explicitly. We also study the cocycle category zmf(R,W)\mathrm{zmf}(R,W), showing that it is additively generated by elementary matrix factorizations. Finally, we discuss a few classes of examples.
