The matrix LU factorization algorithm is a fundamental algorithm in linear algebra. We propose a generalization of the LU and LEU algorithms to accommodate the case of a commutative domain and its field of quotients. This algorithm…

For a regular normal element in an arbitrary ring, we study the category of its module factorizations. The cokernel functor relates module factorizations with Gorenstein projective components to Gorenstein projective modules over the…

In this paper we give a purely categorical construction of d-fold matrix factorizations of a natural transformation, for any even integer d. This recovers the classical definition of those for regular elements in commutative rings due to…

For $w$ in the symmetric group $S_n$, let $\widetilde C_w$ be the corresponding modified, signless Kazhdan--Lusztig basis element of the type-$A$ Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$. An extension [Ann. Comb. 25, no. 3 (2021) pp. 757--787] of a result of…

This article is the continuation of [LS12]. We use categories of matrix factorizations to define a morphism of rings (= a Landau-Ginzburg motivic measure) from the (motivic) Grothendieck ring of varieties over $\mathbb{A}^1$ to the…

The factorizations of the polynomial $X^n-1$ and the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ have been studied for a very long time. Explicit factorizations have been given for the case that $\mathrm{rad}(n)\mid…

We establish a foundational homotopical framework for ternary $\Gamma$-modules by establishing that $\mathcal{T}\text{-Mod}$ is a Barr-exact, monoidal closed category. We resolve the long-standing "additivity obstruction" in non-binary…

Let $W$ be an affine Weyl group, and let $\Bbbk$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. The diagrammatic Hecke category $\mathcal{D}$ for $W$ over $\Bbbk$ is a categorification of the Hecke algebra for $W$ with rich connections to modular…

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…

Let $\fa$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R,\fm)$ and $X$ a $d$-dimensional homologically bounded complex of $R$-modules whose all homology modules are finitely generated. We show that $H^d_{\fa}(X)=0$ if and only if $\dim \hat{R}/\fa…

The exact nonnegative matrix factorization (exact NMF) problem is the following: given an $m$-by-$n$ nonnegative matrix $X$ and a factorization rank $r$, find, if possible, an $m$-by-$r$ nonnegative matrix $W$ and an $r$-by-$n$ nonnegative…

We consider the permutation group algebra defined by Cameron and show that if the permutation group has no finite orbits, then no homogeneous element of degree one is a zero-divisor of the algebra. We proceed to make a conjecture which…

The compressed zero-divisor graph $\Gamma_C(R)$ associated with a commutative ring $R$ has vertex set equal to the set of equivalence classes $\{ [r] \mid r \in Z(R), r \neq 0 \}$ where $r \sim s$ whenever $ann(r) = ann(s)$. Distinct…

We prove a variety results on tensor product factorizations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras (more generally Hopf algebras satisfying chain conditions in suitable braided categories). The results are analogs of well-known results on…

We show that for the path algebra $A$ of an acyclic quiver, the singularity category of the derived category $\mathsf{D}^{\rm b}(\mathsf{mod}\,A)$ is triangle equivalent to the derived category of the functor category of…

Using the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative, we apply the factorization algorithm to the fractional quantum harmonic oscillator along the lines previously proposed by Olivar-Romero and Rosas-Ortiz, extending their results. We solve the…

The disjoint union of mapping class groups of surfaces forms a braided monoidal category $\mathcal M$, as the disjoint union of the braid groups $\mathcal B$ does. We give a concrete, and geometric meaning of the braiding $\beta_{r,s}$ in…

We introduce fusion algebras with not necessarily positive structure constants and without identity element. We prove that they are semisimple when tensored with $\mathbb{C}$ and that their characters satisfy orthogonality relations. Then…

Let $R$ be a ring with unity and $\mathcal{X}$ a semibrick in the module category $\mathrm{Mod}\,R$, that is, a class of pairwise orthogonal finitely presented modules whose endomorphism rings are division rings. We study the full…

We investigate rank revealing factorizations of $m \times n$ polynomial matrices $P(\lambda)$ into products of three, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) E(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, or two, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, polynomial matrices. Among…
