Abstract

We begin the chapter with some history of the results that form the background of this book. We then define higher matrix factorizations, our main focus. While classical matrix factorizations are factorizations of a single element, higher matrix factorizations deal directly with sequences of elements. In Sect. 1.3, we outline our main results. Throughout the book, we use the notation introduced in Sect. 1.4.
