Abstract

This is the second part of a project aimed at formalizing Rozansky-Witten models in the functorial field theory framework. In the first part we constructed a symmetric monoidal $(\infty,3)$-category $\mathcal{C}\mathcal{RW}$ of commutative Rozansky-Witten models with the goal of approximating the 3-category of Kapustin and Rozansky. In this paper we extend work of Brunner, Carqueville, Fragkos, and Roggenkamp on the affine Rozansky-Witten models: we exhibit a functor connecting their 2-category of matrix factorizations with the homotopy 2-category of $\mathcal{C}\mathcal{RW}$, and calculate the associated TFTs.
