Let A= k [[zl,..., zr]\be the formal power series ring in the variables z, over a field k, and let f= f (zx,..., zr) be a non-zero non-unit in A. Then we call R= A/{f) the local ring of/In [19] Knorrer proved that if R= A/(f) is the local ring of a simple isolated hypersurface singularity over C, then there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over R (R is of finite Cohen-Macaulay type). The converse is proved in [12], so the results in [12] and [19] give a module-theoretical characterization of the simple hypersurface singularities over C. In [12] and [19] they also find all the isolated hypersurface singularities/such that R= A/(f) is of finite Cohen-Macaulay type over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic different from 2.An important step in Knorrer's proof is to show that the local ring of an isolated singularity f in A is of finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if/+ u2 in-< 4 [[w]] is. This is done by using skew group rings with a group of order 2. Since the nice connection between a ring A and the skew group ring of A by a group of order 2 is based on the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in A, this proof does not work in characteristic 2. Our main result is that the local ring of/in A is of finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if the local ring of/+ xy in A [[x, y]] is, over an arbitrary field k in all characteristics. This follows from [19] over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2. We will use matrix factorizations from [14] as in [19] and a criterion for finite Cohen-Macaulay type based on existence of almost split sequences [9].
