Compact generators in categories of matrix factorizations (Q638790)

The author studies the category of matrix factorizations associated to the germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity. This category is shown to admit a compact generator which is given by the stabilization of the residue field. The author deduces a quasi-equivalence between the category of matrix factorizations and the differential graded derived category of an explicitly computable differential graded algebra. Building on this result, the author employs a variant of Toën's derived Morita theory to identify continuous functors between matrix factorization categories as integral transforms. This enables the author to calculate the Hochschild chain and cochain complexes of these categories. Finally, the author gives interpretations of the results of this work in terms of noncommutative geometry based on differential graded categories.
