Matrix Factorisation of Morse-Bott functions
Abstract
For a function on a smooth algebraic variety with Morse-Bott critical locus , Kapustin, Rozansky and Saulina suggest that the associated matrix factorisation category should be equivalent to the differential graded category of -periodic coherent complexes on (with a topological twist from the normal bundle of ). I confirm their conjecture in the special case when the first neighbourhood of in is split, and establish the corrected general statement. The answer involves the full Gerstenhaber structure on Hochschild cochains. This note was inspired by the failure of the conjecture, observed by Pomerleano and Preygel, when is a general one-parameter deformation of a surface .
