We study when algebra endomorphisms can be lifted to first-order flat lifts. To a first-order flat lift of an algebra and an endomorphism, we associate a canonical class in Hochschild cohomology with coefficients in a naturally twisted…

We will develop a formal non-commutative (NC) deformation theory of smooth algebraic varieties $X$ defined over a field $k$, and describe a semi-universal deformation where the tangent space $T^1$ and the obstruction space $T^2$ are given…

We introduce two new moves on graphs of groups with cyclic edge groups that preserve the fundamental group. These moves allow us to address the isomorphism problem without the use of expansions, therefore keeping the number of vertices and…

We define cusp-decomposable manifolds and prove smooth rigidity within this class of manifolds. These manifolds generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume,…

In this paper we study flat deformations of real subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^n$, hyperbolic with respect to a fixed linear subspace, i.e. admitting a finite surjective and real fibered linear projection. We show that the subset of the…

In this paper we set-up a general framework for a formal deformation theory of Dirac structures. We give a parameterization of formal deformations in terms of two-forms obeying a cubic equation. The notion of equivalence is discussed in…

We extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc to arbitrary smooth algebraic varieties by removing the condition that every invertible regular function is constant. This links the Brauer--Manin obstruction for integral…

We characterize those regular, holomorphic or formal maps into the orbit space $V/G$ of a complex representation of a finite group $G$ which admit a regular, holomorphic or formal lift to the representation space $V$. In particular, the…

Respecting deformational constraints and predeformations poses a substantial challenge in the description of nonlinear elasticity. We here outline how group theory can play a beneficial role to overcome this challenge. Specifically, group…

We extend the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings modulo $p^2$ and decompositions of the de Rham complex in several ways. We show that for a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the truncations of the…

This is a paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In three previous papers, we introduce the notion of formal manifolds and study…

Let X be a complex algebraic variety, and L(X) be the scheme of formal arcs in X. Let f be an arc whose image is not contained in the singularities of X. We show that the formal neighborhood of f in L(X) admits a decomposition into a…

The notion of a holomorphically symplectic manifold can be generalized to the singular one. This paper studies the birational contraction maps between symplectic varieties, and then describes the deformation of a symplectic variety which…

We establish the existence of Springer isomorphisms for reductive group schemes over general base schemes. For this, we first study centralizers of fiberwise regular sections of reductive group schemes, and we establish their flatness in…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable, if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, first we prove that smooth toric varieties are strongly…
