We establish a general framework for the analysis of boundary value problems of matrix models at zero energy on compact regions. We derive existence and uniqueness of ground state wavefunctions for the mass operator of the $D=11$…
We study categories of matrix factorizations. These categories are defined for any regular function on a suitable regular scheme. Our paper has two parts. In the first part we develop the foundations; for example we discuss derived direct…
We study the matrix factorizations defined by the generic plane projections of a curve singularity of $\mathbb{C}^3$. On the other hand, given a plane curve singularity $Y\subset \mathbb{C}^2$ we study the family of matrix factorizations…
We characterize when a size-2 positive semidefinite (psd) factorization of a positive matrix of rank 3 and psd rank 2 is unique. The characterization is obtained using tools from rigidity theory. In the first step, we define…

Given an element $f$ in a regular local ring, we study matrix factorizations of $f$ with $d \ge 2$ factors, that is, we study tuples of square matrices $(\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\dots,\varphi_d)$ such that their product is $f$ times an identity…
We introduce meta-factorization, a theory that describes matrix decompositions as solutions of linear matrix equations: the projector and the reconstruction equation. Meta-factorization reconstructs known factorizations, reveals their…
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…
We study the matrix factorization problem associated with an SO(2) spinning top by using the algebro-geometric approach. We derive the explicit expressions in terms of Riemann theta functions and discus some related problems including a…
In factoring matrices into the product of two matrices operations are typically performed with elements restricted to matrix subspaces. Such modest structural assumptions are realistic, for example, in large scale computations. This paper…
We consider Landau-Ginzburg models with possibly different superpotentials glued together along one-dimensional defect lines. Defects preserving B-type supersymmetry can be represented by matrix factorisations of the difference of the…
Matrix factorizations of a hypersurface yield a description of the asymptotic structure of minimal free resolutions over the hypersurface. We introduce a new concept of matrix factorizations for complete intersections that allows us to…
A generalization of the factorization technique is shown to be a powerful algebraic tool to discover further properties of a class of integrable systems in Quantum Mechanics. The method is applied in the study of radial oscillator, Morse…
Theory of matrix factorizations is useful to study hypersurfaces in commutative algebra. To study noncommutative hypersurfaces, which are important objects of study in noncommutative algebraic geometry, we introduce a notion of…
We provide a new perspective on the Kapustin-Li formula for the duality pairing on the morphism complexes in the matrix factorization category of an isolated hypersurface singularity. In our context, the formula arises as an explicit…
We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
We derive closed recursion equations for the symmetric polynomials occuring in the form factors of $D_n^{(1)}$ affine Toda field theories. These equations follow from kinematical- and bound state residue equations for the full form factor.…
