In this paper we use the theory of formal moduli problems developed by Lurie in order to study the space of formal deformations of a $k$-linear $\infty$-category for a field $k$. Our main result states that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a $k$-linear…
In this work we define a deformation theory for the Coupled K\"ahler-Yang-Mills equations in arXiv:1102.0991, generalizing work of Sz\'ekelyhidi on constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics. We use the theory to find new solutions of the…
Deformation theory of complex manifolds is a classical subject with recent new advances in the noncompact case using both algebraic and analytic methods. In this note, we recall some concepts of the existing theory and introduce new notions…
This paper provides the final ingredient in the development of the deformation theory of pretriangulated dg-categories endowed with a nice t-structure, which was initiated by the authors and is modeled after the previously developed…
In this article we give a sufficient condition for a morphism $\varphi$ from a smooth variety $X$ to projective space, finite onto a smooth image, to be deformed to an embedding. This result puts some theorems on deformation of morphisms of…
We present an adaptive geometry in which the yardstick co-deforms with space itself, formulated on cellular spaces where length is a count: distances are shortest cell-crossing counts. No cell shape, angles, or embedding are assumed; the…
Derivation-based differential calculi are of great importance in noncommutative geometry, noncommutative gauge theory and integrable systems. In this paper, we propose the connection and curvature from a class of deformed derivation-based…
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…
This paper is a sequel to "t-structures and twisted complexes on derived injectives" by the same authors. We develop the foundations of the infinitesimal derived deformation theory of pretriangulated dg-categories endowed with t-structures.…
Kadeishvili's proof of the minimality theorem induces an algorithm for the inductive computation of an $A_\infty$-algebra structure on the homology of a dg-algebra. In this paper, we prove that for one class of dg-algebras, the resulting…
We start with a short exposition of developments in physics and mathematics that preceded, formed the basis for, or accompanied, the birth of deformation quantization in the seventies. We indicate how the latter is at least a viable…
A simple method is proposed for deforming $A_\infty$-algebras by means of the resolution technique. The method is then applied to the associative algebras of polynomial functions on quantum superspaces. Specifically, by introducing suitable…
We use a natural affine connection with nontrivial torsion on an arbitrary almost-Kaehler manifold which respects the almost-Kaehler structure to construct a Fedosov-type deformation quantization on this manifold.
In this survey on local additive invariants of real and complex definable singular germs we systematically present classical or more recent invariants of different nature as emerging from a tame degeneracy principle. For this goal, we…
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…
In 2010, Hrushovski--Loeser showed that the Berkovich analytification of a quasi-projective variety over a non-Archimedean valued field admits a deformation retraction onto a finite simplicial complex. In this article, we adapt the tools…
This is an addendum to the paper ``Deformation of $L_\infty$-Algebras'' of the same author. We explain in which way the deformation theory of $L_\infty$-algebras extends the deformation theory of singularities. We show that the construction…
This work is the first in a series laying the foundations of derived geometry in the $C^{\infty}$ setting, and providing tools for the construction and study of moduli spaces of solutions of Partial Differential Equations that arise in…
In this thesis, I investigate how to construct a self-consistent model of deformed general relativity using canonical methods and metric variables. The specific deformation of general covariance is predicted by some studies into loop…
One way to understand the deformation theory of a tensor category $M$ is through its Davydov-Yetter cohomology $H_{DY}^{\ast}(M)$ which in degree 3 and 4 is known to control respectively first order deformations of the associativity…
