Joyce–Safronov conjecture on matrix factorizations for shifted Lagrangians

Let UU be a smooth C\mathbb{C}-scheme and let ϕ ⁣:UC\phi\colon U\to\mathbb{C} be a regular function. Let MCrit(ϕ)\mathbf{M}\to\mathbf{Crit}(\phi) be a (1)(-1)-shifted Lagrangian such that vdimMdimU\operatorname{vdim}\mathbf{M}-\dim U is even, equipped with orientation data and a spin structure. Joyce–Safronov conjecture. There exists an object μMMF(U,ϕ)\mu_{\mathbf{M}}\in\operatorname{MF}(U,\phi) in the matrix factorization category MF(U,ϕ)\operatorname{MF}(U,\phi), associated with M\mathbf{M}, with prescribed local behavior as described by Joyce and Safronov. The conjecture proposes a categorical, or Fukaya-type, assignment of objects in matrix factorization categories to shifted Lagrangians; the paper establishes a KK-theoretic version of the associated Joyce–Safronov statement, while the asserted object-level construction is the conjectural input.
