This is the first part of a project aimed at formalizing Rozansky-Witten models in the functorial field theory framework. Motivated by work of Calaque-Haugseng-Scheimbauer, we construct a family of symmetric monoidal $(\infty,3)$-categories…

We construct extended TQFTs associated to Rozansky--Witten models with target manifolds $T^*\mathbb{C}^n$. The starting point of the construction is the 3-category whose objects are such Rozansky--Witten models, and whose morphisms are…

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 first construct the Rozansky-Witten model coupled to BF theory and Chern-Simons theory using the Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky (AKSZ) method. Then we apply the machinery developed in some earlier papers about AKSZ theories and…

We apply the cobordism hypothesis with singularities to the case of affine Rozansky--Witten models, providing a construction of extended TQFTs that includes all line and surface defects. On a technical level, this amounts to proving that…

We give a purely algebraic construction of a cohomological field theory associated with a quasihomogeneous isolated hypersurface singularity W and a subgroup G of the diagonal group of symmetries of W. This theory can be viewed as an…

It has been common wisdom among mathematicians that Extended Topological Field Theory in dimensions higher than two is naturally formulated in terms of n-categories with n> 1. Recently the physical meaning of these higher categorical…

We study matrix factorization and curved module categories for Landau-Ginzburg models (X,W) with X a smooth variety, extending parts of the work of Dyckerhoff. Following Positselski, we equip these categories with model category structures.…

This is the author's diploma thesis. We describe a simplification in the construction of Khovanov-Rozansky's categorification of quantum sl(n) link homology using the theory of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over hypersurface singularities…

The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…

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…

This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017. In Chapter 1 we associate with every Cartan matrix of finite type and a non-zero complex number $\zeta$ an abelian artinian category $\FS$. We call its objects {\em finite…

We study the homotopy category $\mathrm{hef}(R,W)$ (and its $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded version $\mathrm{HEF}(R,W)$) of elementary factorizations, where $R$ is a B\'ezout domain which has prime elements and $W=W_0 W_c$, where $W_0\in R^\times$ is…

This article generalizes the correspondence between matrix factorizations and maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over hypersurface rings due to Eisenbud and Yoshino. We consider factorizations with several factors in a purely categorical…

We systematically study the commutative factorization categories over the Ran space. We fill in what we consider as a gap in the construction of the factorizable Satake functor in the constructible setting in arXiv:1708.07205,…

We define enumerative invariants associated to a hybrid Gauged Linear Sigma Model. We prove that in the relevant special cases, these invariants recover both the Gromov-Witten type invariants defined by Chang-Li and Fan-Jarvis-Ruan using…

We study a potential method for constructing the Rozansky--Witten TQFT as an extended $(1+1+1)$-TQFT. We construct a $2$-category consisting of schemes, complexes of sheaves and sheaf morphisms and show that there are $(1+1)$-TQFTs valued…

In the first part of the Thesis, we reformulate the Murakami-Ohtsuki-Yamada state-sum description of the level n Jones polynomial of an oriented link in terms of a suitable braided monoidal category whose morphisms are Q[q, q-1] s-linear…

We leverage the results of the prequel in combination with a theorem of D. Orlov to yield some results in Hodge theory of derived categories of factorizations and derived categories of coherent sheaves on varieties. In particular, we…

We give a purely combinatorial construction of colored $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ link homology. The invariant takes values in a 2-category where 2-morphisms are given by foams, singular cobordisms between $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ webs; applying a…
