Abstract: To a graded finite-rank matrix factorisation of the difference of two homogeneous potentials one can assign two numbers, the left and right quantum dimension. The existence of such a matrix factorisation with non-zero quantum dimensions defines an equivalence relation between potentials, giving rise to non-obvious equivalences of categories. Restricted to ADE singularities, the resulting equivalence classes of potentials are those of type {A_{d-1}} for d odd, {A_{d-1},D_{d/2+1}} for d even but not in {12,18,30}, and {A_{11}, D_7, E_6}, {A_{17}, D_{10}, E_7} and {A_{29}, D_{16}, E_8}. This is the result expected from two-dimensional rational conformal field theory, and it directly leads to new descriptions of and relations between the associated (derived) categories of matrix factorisations and Dynkin quiver representations.

Review text

A polynomial \(V = V(x) \in k[x_1,\dots,x_m]\) is called a \textit{homogeneous potential} if is it homogeneous of degree \(2\) with respect to some given \(\mathbb Q_+\)-grading. Two such potentials \(V(x),W(y)\) (over the same base field \(k \subset \mathbb C\), but not necessarily the same number of variables \(m\)) are called \textit{orbifold equivalent} if there exists a finite-rank graded matrix factorization of \(W(y) - V(x) \in k[x_1,\dots, x_m,y_1,\dots y_n]\) whose left and right quantum dimensions are nonzero (concrete definitions, as well as a comparison with their more general counterparts in the context of pivotal categories, are given in the paper). The main result of the paper is a classification of orbifold equivalence classes of potentials over \(k = \mathbb C\) which define ADE singularities. Denoting by \(d\) the central charge, equivalence classes are \[ \begin{align*}{ &\{ A_{d-1} \}, \text{ for \(d\) odd},\cr &\{ A_{d-1}, D_{d/2+1} \} \text{ for \(d\) even, } d \not\in \{ 12,18,30 \},\cr &\{ A_{11}, D_7, E_6 \}, \{ A_{17}, D_{10}, E_7 \}, \{ A_{29}, D_{16}, E_8 \}.}\end{align*} \] The final section of the paper explains the relation of the above with the (conjectural) correspondence between \(\mathcal N = 2\) supersymmetric Landau--Ginzburg models and \(\mathcal N = 2\) superconformal field theories in two dimensions. The results of the paper also shed light on the relation between derived categories of matrix factorizations and Dynkin quiver representations.
