Description/Abstract

The notion of a matrix factorization was introduced by Eisenbud in the commutative case in his study of bounded (periodic) free resolutions over complete intersections. Since then, matrix factorizations have appeared in a number of applications. In this work, we extend the notion of (homogeneous) matrix factorizations to regular normal elements of connected graded algebras over a field.

Next, we relate the category of twisted matrix factorizations to an element over a ring and certain Zhang twists. We also show that in the setting of a quotient of a ring of finite global dimension by a normal regular element, every sufficiently high syzygy module is the cokernel of some twisted matrix factorization. Furthermore, we show that in the noetherian AS-regular setting, there is an equivalence of categories between the homotopy category of twisted matrix factorizations and the singularity category of the hypersurface, following work of Orlov.
