Abstract

We give a purely categorical construction of $d$-fold matrix factorizations of a natural transformation, for any even integer $d$. This recovers the classical definition of those for regular elements in commutative rings due to Eisenbud. We explore some natural functors between associated triangulated categories, and show that when $d=2$ these are full and faithful, and in some cases equivalences.
