Abstract
We consider Landau-Ginzburg models with possibly different superpotentials glued together along one-dimensional defect lines. Defects preserving B-type supersymmetry can be represented by matrix factorisations of the difference of the superpotentials. The composition of these defects and their action on B-type boundary conditions is described in this framework. The cases of Landau-Ginzburg models with superpotential W = Xd and W = Xd+Z2 are analysed in detail, and the results are compared to the CFT treatment of defects in N = 2 superconformal minimal models to which these Landau-Ginzburg models flow in the IR.

Progress in Mathematics

TL;DR: In this article, the inner form of a general linear group over a non-archimedean local field is shown to preserve the depths of essentially tame Langlands parameters, and it is shown that the local Langlands correspondence for G preserves depths.

Fivebranes and 4-Manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, a dictionary between building blocks of 4-manifolds and 2-dimensional theories was proposed, and a number of results were obtained, such as new 3d theories T[M3] associated with rational homology spheres and new results for Vafa-Witten partition functions.

Orbifold completion of defect bicategories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a general framework which takes such a bicategory B as input and returns its "orbifold completion" B_orb. The completion satisfies the natural properties B \subset B/orb and (B_orb)_orb = B_orbit, and it gives rise to various new equivalences and nondegeneracy results.

Fusion of conformal interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the BPS black holes is played by topological interfaces, which minimize the entropy function, fix through an attractor mechanism one or both of the bulk radii, and are (marginally) stable under splitting.

Defects and bulk perturbations of boundary Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds

TL;DR: In this article, defect lines are used as a useful tool in the study of bulk perturbations of conformal field theory, in particular in the analysis of the induced renormalization group flows of boundary conditions.

Matrix factorizations and link homology

TL;DR: Khovanov et al. as mentioned in this paper constructed a doubly-graded homology theory of links with the Euler characteristic, which is based on matrix factorizations, which provide a linear algebra description of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules on isolated hypersurface singularities.

Mirror Manifolds And Topological Field Theory

Edward Witten
TL;DR: In this article, the mirror manifold problem is explained from the point of view of topological field theory, which can be naturally understood from the perspective of the mirror map between mirror moduli spaces.

D-Branes And Mirror Symmetry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied (2,2) supersymmetric field theories on two-dimensional worldsheet with boundaries and determined D-branes (boundary conditions and boundary interactions) that preserve half of the bulk supercharges in nonlinear sigma models.

Triangulated categories of singularities and d-branes in landau-ginzburg models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce triangulated categories related to singularities of algebraic varieties and establish a connection of these categories with D-branes in Landau-Ginzburg models.

Equivalences of derived categories and K3 surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective variaties were considered and it was shown that any equivalence between them can be represented by an object on the product.
