Abstract

For a commutative ring SS and self-orthogonal subcategory C\mathsf{C} of Mod(S)\mathsf{Mod}(S), we consider matrix factorizations whose modules belong to C\mathsf{C}. Let fSf\in S be a regular element. If ff is MM-regular for every MCM\in \mathsf{C}, we show there is a natural embedding of the homotopy category of C\mathsf{C}-factorizations of ff into a corresponding homotopy category of totally acyclic complexes. Moreover, we prove this is an equivalence if C\mathsf{C} is the category of projective or flat-cotorsion SS-modules. Dually, using divisibility in place of regularity, we observe there is a parallel equivalence when C\mathsf{C} is the category of injective SS-modules.
