Lett. Math. Phys. 112, No. 6, Paper No. 117, 57 p. (2022).

Summary: We study hybrid models arising as homological projective duals (HPD) of certain projective embeddings \(f:X\rightarrow{\mathbb{P}}(V)\) of Fano manifolds \(X\). More precisely, the category of \(B\)-branes of such hybrid models corresponds to the HPD category of the embedding \(f\). \(B\)-branes on these hybrid models can be seen as global matrix factorizations over some compact space \(B\) or, equivalently, as the derived category of the sheaf of \({\mathcal{A}}\)-modules on \(B\), where \({\mathcal{A}}\) is a sheaf of \(A_{\infty}\)-algebra. This latter interpretation corresponds to a noncommutative resolution of \(B\). We compute explicitly the algebra \({\mathcal{A}}\) by several methods, for some specific class of hybrid models. If the target space of the hybrid model is a global orbifold, \({\mathcal{A}}\) takes the form of a smash product of an \(A_{\infty}\)-algebra with a finite group. However, this is not the case in general because the orbifold group can only be defined locally. One needs to treat the target space as an algebraic stack in such cases. We apply our results to the HPD of \(f\) corresponding to a Veronese embedding of projective space and the projective embedding of Fano complete intersections in \({\mathbb{P}}^n\).
