We study the category of matrix factorizations for an isolated hypersurface singularity. We compute the canonical bilinear form on the Hochschild homology of this category. We find explicit expressions for the Chern character and the…

For a manifold $W$ and an $E_d$-algebra $A$, the factorisation homology $\int_W A$ can be seen as a generalisation of the classical configuration space of labelled particles in $W$. It carries an action by the diffeomorphism group…

Matrix factorization is a well-studied task in machine learning for compactly representing large, noisy data. In our approach, instead of using the traditional concept of matrix rank, we define a new notion of link-rank based on a…

In this work we discuss a new type of factorisation systems for \textbf{Ord}-enriched categories. We start by defining the new notion of lax weak orthogonality, which involves the existence of lax diagonal morphisms for lax squares. Using…

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme with an action of an algebraic group $G$. We establish an equivalence of two categories related to the corresponding moment map $\mu : T^*X \to Lie(G)^*$ - the derived category of G-equivariant coherent sheaves on…

We study the factor-spaces of the unit ball of dimension, not less than three, by a certain group of M\"{o}bius transformations. For mappings of such spaces, an estimate of the distortion of the modulus of families of spheres is obtained.…

We tackle the problem of constructing $R$-matrices for the category $\mathcal{O}$ associated to the Borel subalgebra of an arbitrary untwisted quantum loop algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$. For this, we define an exact functor $\mathcal{F}_q$…

We develop a method of quantization for free field theories on manifolds with boundary where the bulk theory is topological in the direction normal to the boundary and a local boundary condition is imposed. Our approach is within the…

Let $C$ be a curve in $\mathbb{P}^4$ and $X$ be a hypersurface containing it. We show how it is possible to construct a matrix factorization on $X$ from the pair $(C,X)$ and, conversely, how a matrix factorization on $X$ leads to curves…

Let \(C\) be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For the moduli space \(N(r,L)\) of stable vector bundles on \(C\) of rank \(r\) with fixed determinant \(L\), we study the group of exact…

Within the Dijkgraaf-Vafa correspondence, we study the complete factorization of the Seiberg-Witten curve for U(N_c) gauge theory with N_f<N_c massive flavors. We obtain explicit expressions, from random matrix theory, for the moduli,…

In this paper we show that every object in the dg category of relative singularities Sing$(B,\underline{f})$ associated to a pair $(B,\underline{f})$, where $B$ is a ring and $\underline{f}\in B^n$, is equivalent to a retract of a…

This paper analyzes a possible link between Category Theory and Generalized Factorization Theory developed by Anderson and Frazier. Specifically in the context of what has been worked on in previous works, where compositions of relations…

Orbifolding two-dimensional quantum field theories by a symmetry group can involve a choice of discrete torsion. We apply the general formalism of `orbifolding defects' to study and elucidate discrete torsion for topological field theories.…

For a wide class of Cohen--Macaulay modules over the local ring of the plane curve singularity of type T_44 we explicitly describe the corresponding matrix factorizations. The calculations are based on the technique of matrix problems, in…

We present evidence for the factorization of the world-sheet path integrals for 2d conformal field theories on the disk into bulk and boundary contributions. This factorization is then used to reinterpret a shift in closed string…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. A well-known factorization problem is whether any matrix in $\mathrm{SL}_n(R)$ is a product of elementary matrices with entries in $R$. To solve the problem, we use two approaches based on the notion of…

This is the second part of a project aimed at formalizing Rozansky-Witten models in the functorial field theory framework. In the first part we constructed a symmetric monoidal $(\infty, 3)$-category $\mathscr{CRW}$ of commutative…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an LU factorization $A=LU$ for an arbitrary square matrix $A$, including singular and rank-deficient cases, without the use of row or column permutations. We prove that…

The theory of $\Theta$-stratifications generalizes a classical stratification of the moduli of vector bundles on a smooth curve, the Harder-Narasimhan-Shatz stratification, to any moduli problem that can be represented by an algebraic…
