Abstract

For a (1)(-1)-shifted Lagrangian in a critical locus, we construct a homomorphism from the KK-group of matrix factorisations of the critical locus to the KK-group of the Lagrangian, partially answering the Joyce-Safronov conjecture. The key step is the construction of a specialisation functor for categories of matrix factorisations along the deformation to the normal cone. Any (2)(-2)-shifted symplectic space is a (1)(-1)-shifted Lagrangian of a point, whose KK-group is Z\mathbb{Z}. The image of 1Z1\in \mathbb{Z} under the above homomorphism is the virtual structure sheaf. We prove that two equivalent critical models of a given critical locus induce homomorphisms that commute via Kn\"orrer periodicity. When a torus acts on the Lagrangian, we further prove a localisation formula, namely the commutativity of the homomorphisms associated with the Lagrangian and its fixed locus.
