We give an exposition of the formal aspects of deformation theory in the language of fibered categories, instead of the more traditional one of functors. The main concepts are that of tangent space to a deformation problem, obstruction…

We construct virtual fundamental classes of Artin stacks over a Dedekind domain endowed with a perfect obstruction theory.

In this paper we develop the obstruction theory for lifting complexes, up to quasi-isomorphism, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As a particular case we also obtain the corresponding obstruction…

We compare the obstruction classes defined in arXiv:1101.4069 to those defined by Illusie. We also give sheaf theoretic proofs of some of the standard properties of the cotangent complex.

We develop an obstruction theory for Hirsch extensions of cbba's with twisted coefficients. This leads to a variety of applications, including a structural theorem for minimal cbba's, a construction of relative minimal models with twisted…

We develop a general obstruction theory to the formality of algebraic structures over any commutative ground ring. It relies on the construction of Kaledin obstruction classes that faithfully detect the formality of differential graded…

We give an approach for relative and degenerate Gromov--Witten invariants, inspired by that of Jun Li but replacing predeformable maps by transversal maps to a twisted target. The main advantage is a significant simplification in the…

This work explores the deformation theory of algebraic structures in a very general setting. These structures include commutative, associative algebras, Lie algebras, and the infinity versions of these structures, the strongly homotopy…

We define a bordism invariant for the fiberwise intersection theory. Under some certain conditions, this invariant is an obstruction for the theory.

We continue the development of the infinitesimal deformation theory of pasting diagrams of k-linear categories begun in Yetter, D.N. "On Deformations of Pasting Diagrams", Theory and Applications of Categories 22 (2009) 24-53. In that…

Using Quillen-Lurie deformation theory formalism we develop an obstruction theory for studying the stable $\infty$-category of modules over a given geometric $\infty$-stack. The obstruction theory studies the problem of lifting compact…

We develop two approaches to obstruction theory for deformations of derived isomorphism classes of complexes $Z^\bullet$ of modules for a profinite group $G$ over a complete local Noetherian ring $A$ of positive residue characteristic…

Assuming natural variational realization conjectures, we give uniform bounds for the obstruction to the integral Tate conjecture in 1-dimensional families of algebraic varieties over an infinite finitely generated field.

We develop an obstruction theory for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the gluing problem for a destriction functor and apply it to some well-known biset functors. The obstruction groups for this theory are reduced cohomology…

By using higher K-theory, we study deformation theory of K-theoretic cycles. As an application, we answer two questions posed by Mark Green and Philip Griffiths: (1). How to define tangent spaces to cycle class groups in general? (2).…

We introduce the notion of limiting theories, giving examples and providing a sufficient condition under which the first order theory of a structure is the limit of the first order theories of a collection of substructures. We also give a…

We give an obstruction for lifts and extensions in a model category inspired by Klein and Williams' work on intersection theory. In contrast to the familiar obstructions from algebraic topology, this approach produces a single invariant…

Since Chern and Grothendieck, Chern's characteristic class theory has made significant progress. In particular with regard to the classes of singular varieties. Conjectured by Grothendieck and Deligne and demonstrated by MacPherson, Chern…

A series of recent papers by Bergfalk, Lupini and Panagiotopoulus developed the foundations of a field known as `definable algebraic topology,' in which classical cohomological invariants are enriched by viewing them as groups with a Polish…

We construct virtual fundamental classes for dg-manifolds whose tangent sheaves have cohomology only in degrees 0 and 1. This condition is analogous to the existence of a perfect obstruction theory in the approach of Behrend-Fantechi [BF]…
