Abstract

Buchweitz-Greuel-Schreyer conjectured in 1987 a lower bound on the ranks of matrix factorizations over certain local hypersurface rings. We study a graded version of this conjecture, and we show that it implies a novel conjecture concerning the cohomology of sheaves over non-Fano projective hypersurfaces.
