Cohen-Macaulay modules (13C14) Special types (Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, Buchsbaum, etc.) (13H10)

Abstract: Let

(S, m a t h f r a k n)

be a regular local ring and

f

a non-zero element of

m a t h f r a k n^{2}

. A theorem due to Kn"orrer states that there are finitely many isomorphism classes of maximal Cohen-Macaulay

R = S / (f)

-modules if and only if the same is true for the double branched cover of

R

, that is, the hypersurface ring defined by

f + z^{2}

in

S [[z]]

. We consider an analogue of this statement in the case of the hypersurface ring defined instead by

f + z^{d}

for

d g e 2

. In particular, we show that this hypersurface, which we refer to as the

d

-fold branched cover of

R

, has finite Cohen-Macaulay representation type if and only if, up to isomorphism, there are only finitely many indecomposable matrix factorizations of

f

with

d

factors. As a result, we give a complete list of polynomials

f

with this property in characteristic zero. Furthermore, we show that reduced

d

-fold matrix factorizations of

f

correspond to Ulrich modules over the

d

-fold branched cover of

R

.
