We provide the main results of a deformation theory of smooth formal schemes. First we deal with the case of global lifting of smooth morphisms. We prove that the obstruction to the existence of a global lifting lies in a Ext^1 group. Then…

We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of…

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

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 study two classes of morphisms in infinite type: tamely presented morphisms and morphisms with coherent pullback. These are generalizations of finitely presented morphisms and morphisms of finite Tor-dimension, respectively. The class of…

We develop the formalism of universal torsors in equivariant birational geometry and apply it to produce new examples of nonbirational but stably birational actions of finite groups.

Formal orbifolds are defined in higher dimension. Their \'etale fundamental groups are also defined. It is shown that the fundamental groups of formal orbifolds have certain finiteness property and it is also shown that they can be used to…

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 study differential forms invariant under a finite reflection group over a field of arbitrary characteristic. In particular, we prove an analogue of Saito's freeness criterion for invariant differential 1-forms. We also discuss how…

Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ and with algebraically closed residue field. Let $X$ be a faithfully flat $R$-scheme of finite type of relative dimension 1 and $G$ be any affine $K$-group scheme of…

A classical problem in algebraic deformation theory is whether an infinitesimal deformation can be extended to a formal deformation. The answer to this question is usually given in terms of Massey powers. If all Massey powers of the…

We give explicit, uniform formulas for the graded characters and total ranks of the Lie algebra homology of finite-dimensional representations in all classical types. In many cases, these compute the Tor groups of finite length modules over…

For equivariant stable homotopy theory, equivariant KK-theory and equivariant derived categories, we show how restriction to a subgroup of finite index yields a finite commutative separable extension, analogous to finite \'etale extensions…

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…

Suppose a finite group acts on a scheme $X$ and a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The associated equivariant map algebra is the Lie algebra of equivariant regular maps from $X$ to $\mathfrak{g}$. The irreducible…

We will introduce formal frames of manifolds, which are a generalization of ordinary frames. Their fundamental properties are discussed. In particular, canonical forms are introduced, and torsions are defined in terms of them as a…

We develop a unified representation theory for the categories of finite subsets and relation-preserving maps of highly homogeneous relational structures classified by Cameron. For any commutative coefficient ring $k$, we extend the…

We develop the deformation-obstruction calculus for morphisms of complexes with a fixed lift of the codomain, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As an application, we give an alternative proof that…

In this paper we study extension problems for torsors in positive characteristic. Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $U/F$ be a unipotent algebraic group. As our first main result, we prove that every $U$-torsor defined over the…

There is a natural way to deform a Killing foliation with non-closed leaves, due to Ghys and Haefliger--Salem, into a closed foliation, i.e., a foliation whose leaves are all closed. Certain transverse geometric and topological properties…
