Finite matrix factorizations in the curved homotopy category #

The inclusion of finite-projective matrix factorizations among curved duplexes descends to homotopy categories. It is fully faithful: an odd homotopy between finite-projective factorizations is exactly an odd homotopy between their underlying curved duplexes. Thus the finite-projective homotopy category has precisely the same morphisms between its objects as the ambient curved homotopy category.

The embedding is moreover a triangle functor for the triangulations of both homotopy categories obtained from their componentwise split Frobenius structures. It commutes with the parity shifts, hence with the shifts by ℤ they generate, and it sends the distinguished triangle of a componentwise split short complex of finite-projective factorizations to the distinguished triangle of the same short complex of curved duplexes. Being full, it then has a triangulated essential image by Mathlib's general instance for full triangle functors.

This comparison uses the full-subcategory presentation of matrix factorizations and the quotient-by-ideal construction. It is the homotopy-level form of the finite-projective inclusion used in Orlov, Triangulated categories of singularities and D-branes in Landau–Ginzburg models, Sections 1.2 and 3.

    The embedding of homotopy categories agrees on objects with the inclusion of matrix factorizations followed by the curved-duplex quotient.

    On morphisms, the homotopy embedding sends a class to the class of the same closed even map, viewed as a map of curved duplexes.

    A homotopy class of finite-projective factorizations is zero in the curved-duplex homotopy category only if it was already zero in the matrix-factorization homotopy category.

    Every homotopy class between two finite-projective factorizations in the ambient curved homotopy category is represented by a map of finite-projective factorizations.

    The homotopy embedding restricts the curved-duplex quotient functor along the inclusion of finite-projective factorizations.

    The homotopy embedding commutes with the shifts by ℤ generated by the parity shifts.

    The homotopy embedding of matrix factorizations is a triangle functor. The image of the distinguished triangle of a componentwise split short complex of finite-projective factorizations is the distinguished triangle of the same short complex of curved duplexes.
