Matrix factorisations describe B-type boundary conditions in N=2 supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. At the infrared fixed point, they correspond to superconformal boundary states. We investigate the relation between boundary states and…

For various 2-Calabi-Yau categories $\mathscr{C}$ for which the stack of objects $\mathfrak{M}$ has a good moduli space $p\colon\mathfrak{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}$, we establish purity of the mixed Hodge module complex…

For a finite group $G$, we define the $G$-cobordism category in dimension two. We show there is a one-to-one correspondence between the connected components of its classifying space and the abelianization of $G$. Also, we find an…

For a finite group $D$, we study categorical factorisation homology on oriented surfaces equipped with principal $D$-bundles, which `integrates' a (linear) balanced braided category $\mathcal{A}$ with $D$-action over those surfaces. For…

We develop an algebraic formalism for topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality. More precisely, we show that topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality actually induces an isomorphism between noncommutative motives that in turn implements the well-known…

It is well-known that the "pre-2-category" $\mathscr{C}at_\mathrm{dg}^\mathrm{coh}(k)$ of small dg categories over a field $k$, with 1-morphisms defined as dg functors, and with 2-morphisms defined as the complexes of coherent natural…

We prove that one can realize certain triangulated subcategories of the singularity category of a complete intersection as homotopy categories of matrix factorizations. Moreover, we prove that for any commutative ring and non-zerodivisor,…

We consider matrix factorizations and homological mirror symmetry on the torus T^2 using a Landau-Ginzburg description. We identify the basic matrix factorizations of the Landau-Ginzburg superpotential and compute the full spectrum, taking…

Starting with a k-linear or DG category admitting a (homotopy) Serre functor, we construct a k-linear or DG 2-category categorifying the Heisenberg algebra of the numerical K-group of the original category. We also define a 2-categorical…

In this paper we establish a precise comparison between vanishing cycles and the singularity category of Landau-Ginzburg models over a complete discrete valuation ring. By using noncommutative motives, we first construct a motivic…

Let G be a connected complex reductive group and let K be a symmetric subgroup of G. We prove a formula for the Drinfeld-Gaitsgory functor for the dg-category of K-equivariant sheaves on the flag manifold of G in terms of the Matsuki…

For germs of holomorphic functions $f : (\mathbf{C}^{m+1},0) \to (\mathbf{C},0)$, $g : (\mathbf{C}^{n+1},0) \to (\mathbf{C},0)$ having an isolated critical point at 0 with value 0, the classical Thom-Sebastiani theorem describes the…

This is the first in a series of papers that deals with duality statements such as Mukai-duality (T-duality, from algebraic geometry) and the Baum-Connes conjecture (from operator $K$-theory). These dualities are expressed in terms of…

We study N=1 theories on Hermitian manifolds of the form M^4=S^1xM^3 with M^3 a U(1) fibration over S^2, and their 3d N=2 reductions. These manifolds admit an Heegaard-like decomposition in solid tori D^2xT^2 and D^2xS^1. We prove that when…

We identify two distinct approaches to the derived equivalence for the stratified Mukai flop of cotangent bundles of Grassmannians -- one induced by the geometric categorical sl(2) action, and the other through the magic window category of…

We prove that the linearization functor from the category of Hamiltonian K-actions with group-valued moment maps in the sense of Lu, to the category of ordinary Hamiltonian K-actions, preserves products up to symplectic isomorphism. As an…

We systematically apply semisimplification functors in modular representation theory. Motivated by the Duflo--Serganova functor in Lie superalgebras, we construct various functors of interest. In the setting of finite groups, we refine the…

We use superconnections to define and study some natural differential forms on period domains $\mathbb{D}$ that parametrize polarized Hodge structures of given type on a rational quadratic vector space $V$. These forms depend on a choice of…

We show that a vector space valued TQFT constructed in work of De Renzi et al. [DGGPR23] extends naturally to a topological field theory which takes values in the symmetric monoidal category of linear cochains. Specifically, we consider a…

There are known two different constructions of contractible dg 2-operads, providing a weak 2-category structure on the following dg 2-quiver of small dg 2-categories. Its vertices are small dg 2-categories over a given field, arrows are dg…
