Smoothings of schemes with non-isolated singularities

Algebraic Geometry 2009-08-24 v2

Abstract

In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally we obtain explicit criteria in order for a pure and reduced scheme of finite type over a field kk to have smoothings and Q-Gorenstein smoothings.
