The cut operation on matrix factorisations

Abstract

The bicategory LG\mathcal{LG} of Landau-Ginzburg models has polynomials as objects and matrix factorisations as 11-morphisms. The composition of these 11-morphisms produces infinite rank matrix factorisations, which is a nuisance. In this paper we define a bicategory which is equivalent to LG\mathcal{LG} in which composition of 11-morphisms produces finite rank matrix factorisations equipped with the action of a Clifford algebra. This amounts to a finite model of composition in LG\mathcal{LG}.
