We describe the pushforward of a matrix factorisation along a ring morphism in terms of an idempotent defined using relative Atiyah classes, and use this construction to study the convolution of kernels defining integral functors between…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…

We provide an equivalence between the dg category of coherent matrix factorizations and a certain dg category of absolute singularities. As an application, we compute the l-adic cohomology of the dg category of coherent matrix…

Much work has been done on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, namely $\tau$-factorization. There has also been substantial progress made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. This…

For a function $W\in \mathbb{C}[X]$ on a smooth algebraic variety $X$ with Morse-Bott critical locus $Y\subset X$, Kapustin, Rozansky and Saulina suggest that the associated matrix factorisation category $\mathrm{MF}(X;W)$ should be…

We identify the category of integrable lowest-weight representations of the loop group LG of a compact Lie group G with the linear category of twisted, conjugation-equivariant curved Fredholm complexes on the group G: namely, the twisted,…

We study the categories of singularities coming from Landau-Ginzburg models given by the invertible polynomials. Such categories appear on the B-side of the Berglund-H\"ubsch mirror symmetry. We provide an efficient method of computing…

It is known that Lagrangian torus fibers of the moment map of a toric Fano manifold $X$, equipped with flat $U(1)$-connections, are mirror to matrix factorizations of the mirror superpotential $W:\check{X}\rightarrow\bC$. Via SYZ mirror…

This manuscript explores many convolution (restricted summation) type sequences via certain types of matrix based factorizations that can be used to express their generating functions. The last primary (non-appendix) section of the thesis…

We study the relationship between derived categories of factorizations on gauged Landau-Ginzburg models related by variations of the linearization in Geometric Invariant Theory. Under assumptions on the variation, we show the derived…

Every Grothendieck fibration gives rise to a vertical/cartesian orthogonal factorization system on its domain. We define a cartesian factorization system to be an orthogonal factorization in which the left class satisfies 2-of-3 and is…

We develop a diagrammatic categorification of the polynomial ring $Z[x]$. Our categorification satisfies a version of Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand reciprocity property with the indecomposable projective modules corresponding to $x^n$ and…

We study the category of matrix factorizations associated to the germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity. This category is shown to admit a compact generator which is given by the stabilization of the residue field. We deduce a…

In this article we introduce and study a motivic category in the arithmetic of function fields, namely the category of motives over an algebraic closure $L$ of a finite field with coefficients in a global function field over this finite…

We consider the factorization of a rectangular matrix $X $ into a positive linear combination of rank-one factors of the form $u v^\top$, where $u$ and $v$ belongs to certain sets $\mathcal{U}$ and $\mathcal{V}$, that may encode specific…

Let $S$ be a commutative noetherian ring. The extensions of matrix factorizations of non-zerodivisors $x_1,\dots,x_n$ of $S$ form a full subcategory of finitely generated modules over the quotient ring $S/(x_1\cdots x_n)$. In this paper, we…

The strong factorization conjecture states that a proper birational map between smooth algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero can be factored as a sequence of smooth blowups followed by a sequence of smooth blowdowns. We…

We study the fusion of B-type interfaces between N=(2,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. Such interfaces can be described by matrix factorizations of the difference of the superpotentials, and their fusion is modelled by the tensor…

In light of recent data science trends, new interest has fallen in alternative matrix factorizations. By this, we mean various ways of factorizing particular data matrices so that the factors have special properties and reveal insights into…
