In the first section we recall some basic notions on Lie algebras. In a second time we study the algebraic variety of complex $n$-dimensional Lie algebras. We present different notions of deformations : Gerstenhaber deformations,…
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 construct a differential and a Lie bracket on the space\linebreak $\{\Hom (A^{\otimes k}, A^{\otimes l})\},_{k,l\ge 0}$ for any associative algebra $A$. The restriction of this bracket to the space $\{\Hom (A^{\otimes k}, A)\},_{k\ge 0}$…
Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings and a unitary local system V on it. We consider a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of forms with holomorphic logarithmic singularities…
We introduce a symmetric operad $\square p$ ("box-op") which describes a certain calculus of rectangular labeled ``boxes''. Algebras over $\square p$, which we call box operads, have appeared under the name of fc multicategories in work by…
In this paper, we define a new cohomology theory for multiplicative Hom-pre-Lie algebras which controls deformations of Hom-pre-Lie algebra structure. This new cohomology is a natural one by considering the structure map. We develop…
In a classic paper, Gerstenhaber showed that first order deformations of an associative k-algebra A are controlled by the second Hochschild cohomology group of A. More generally, any n-parameter first order deformation of A gives, due to…
We develop the notion of deformations using a valuation ring as ring of coefficients. This permits to consider in particular the classical Gerstenhaber deformations of associative or Lie algebras as infinitesimal deformations and to solve…
It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.
Fialowski and Schlichenmaier constructed examples of global deformations of Lie algebras of vector fields from deforming the underlying variety. We formulate their approach in a conceptual way. Namely, we construct a stack of deformations…
The deformation complex of an algebra over a colored PROP P is defined in terms of a minimal (or, more generally, cofibrant) model of P. It is shown that it carries the structure of an L_\infty-algebra which induces a graded Lie bracket on…
This is a comment on the Kuranishi method of constructing analytic deformation spaces. It is based on a simple observation that the Kuranishi map can always be inverted in the category of $L_{\infty}$-algebras. The $L_{\infty}$-structure…
A classical problem in algebraic geometry is to construct smooth algebraic varieties with prescribed properties. In the approach via smoothings, one first constructs a degenerate scheme with the prescribed properties, and then shows the…
We show that infinitesimal deformations of twisted sheaves are controlled by the DG Lie algebra of their derived automorphisms. We prove that such DG Lie algebra is formal for polystable twisted sheaves on minimal surfaces of Kodaira…
We introduce the graded bialgebra deformations, which explain Andruskiewitsch-Schneider's liftings method. We also relate this graded bialgebra deformation with the corresponding graded bialgebra cohomology groups, which is the graded…
Looking for the universal covering of the smooth non-commutative torus leads to a curve of associative multiplications on the space $\Cal O_M'(\Bbb R^{2n})\cong \Cal O_C(\Bbb R^{2n})$ of Laurent Schwartz which is smooth in the deformation…
We develop the Lie theory of Lie-admissible algebras whose product is enriched with higher operations modeled on directed graphs with a view to apply it to the deformation theories controlled by this kind of Lie algebras. We produce…
Given a morphism $X \to S$ of fine log schemes, we develop a geometric description of the sheaves of higher-order differentials $\Omega^n_{X/S}$ for $n > 1$, as well as a definition of the de Rham complex in terms of this description.
A Lie algebroid on a variety X/k is an extension \alpha: g_X \to T_X of the tangent sheaf both as O_X-module and Lie algebra over the base field, with the obvious compatibilities; and given a Lie algebroid one has its associated ring of…
This article gives a brief introduction to some recent work on deformation and homotopy theories of Rota-Baxter operators and more generally $\mathcal{O}$-operators on Lie algebras, by means of the differential graded Lie algebra approach.…
