Abstract

We prove a generalization of Orlov's theorem for matrix factorizations with nn steps. Let XX be a regular scheme, W ⁣:XA1W\colon X\to \mathbb{A}^1 a flat morphism and D:=W1(0)D:=W^{-1}(0) its central fiber. We construct an appropriate triangulated category of matrix factorizations with nn-steps and show that it is equivalent to the singularity category of the root stack (X,D)n\sqrt[n]{(X, D)}. We also show that this category admits a semiorthogonal decomposition into n1n-1 copies of the usual (absolute derived) category of matrix factorizations with 22 steps.
