Davydov--Yetter (DY) cohomology classifies infinitesimal deformations of the monoidal structure of tensor functors and tensor categories. In this paper we provide new tools for the computation of the DY cohomology for finite tensor…
We reproduce the quantum cohomology of toric varieties (and of some hypersurfaces in projective spaces) as the cohomology of certain vertex algebras with differential. The deformation technique allows us to compute the cohomology of the…
We analyse infinitesimal deformations of morphisms of locally free sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we describe a differential graded Lie algebra…
We establish the deformation theory of Lie groupoid morphisms, describe the corresponding deformation cohomology of morphisms, and show the properties of the cohomology. We prove its invariance under isomorphisms of morphisms. Additionally,…
In this paper is presented a new approach to the axiomatic homotopy theory in categories, which offers a simpler and more useful answer to this old question: how two objects in a category (without any topological feature) can be deformed…
We define a notion of categorical first order deformations for (enhanced) triangulated categories. For a category $\mathcal{T}$, we show that there is a bijection between $\operatorname{HH}^2(\mathcal{T})$ and the set of categorical…
We propose a generic and systematic decoherence-free scheme to encode quantum information into an open quantum system based focusing on symmetry. Under a given symmetry, the Liouville space is decomposed into invariant subspaces…
In this paper, first we introduce the notion of an embedding tensor on a 3-Lie algebra, which naturally induces a 3-Leibniz algebra. Using the derived bracket, we construct a Lie 3-algebra, whose Maurer-Cartan elements are embedding…
A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…
This paper introduces monoidal (super)categories resembling the Brauer category. For all categories, we can construct bases of the hom-spaces using Brauer diagrams. These categories include the Brauer category, its deformation the…
We show that the Hochschild cohomology of the algebra obtained by formal deformation quantization on a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the formal series with coefficients in the de Rham cohomology of the manifold. The cohomology class…
In this paper, we construct a differential graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by crossed homomorphisms on Leibniz algebras. This allows us to define cohomology for a crossed homomorphism. Finally, we study linear…
We show that a $\mathbb{P}$-object and simple configurations of $\mathbb{P}$-objects have a formal derived endomorphism algebra. Hence the triangulated category (classically) generated by such objects is independent of the ambient…
Over a field of characteristic zero, every deformation problem with cohomology constraints is controlled by a pair consisting of a differential graded Lie algebra together with a module. Unfortunately, these pairs are usually…
Let $W$ be a finite dimensional algebraic structure (e.g. an algebra) over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. We study forms of $W$ by using Deligne's Theory of symmetric monoidal categories. We construct a category $\mathcal{C}_W$, which…
First three sections of this overview paper cover classical topics of deformation theory of associative algebras and necessary background material. We then analyze algebraic structures of the Hochschild cohomology and describe the relation…
This paper is a continuation of ``Operads, Grothendieck topologies and deformation theory'' (alg-geom/9502010). We show how to develop a cohomology theory that would control deformations of a sheaf of associative algebras over a scheme by…
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…
A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We…
We construct a cohomology theory controlling the deformations of a general Drinfel'd algebra. The picture presented here has two sides -- the combinatorial one related with the fact of the existence of a graded Lie algebra structure on the…
