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…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, $\CO$ be a dg operad over $k$ and let $A$ be an $\CO$-algebra. In this note we define formal deformations of $A$, construct the deformation functor $$\Def_A:\dgar(k)\to\simpl$$ from the category of…
We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…
In this paper, we prove some foundational results on the deformation theory of E-infinity ring spectra.
We study modular subspaces corresponding to two deformation functors associated to an isolated singularity X_0: the functor Def_{X_0} of deformations of X_0 and the functor Def^s_{X_0} of deformations with section of X_0. After recalling…
It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.
We study analytic deformations of holomorphic foliations given by homogeneous integrable one-forms in the complex affine space $\mathbb C^n$. The deformation is supposed to be of first order (order one in the parameter). We also assume that…
We propose a geometric and categorical approach to the Hodge Conjecture for all smooth projective complex varieties. By embedding any such variety into a flat family with general fibers smooth complete intersections, we prove the conjecture…
We define a cohomology for an arbitrary $K$-linear semistrict semigroupal 2-category $(\mathfrak{C},\otimes)$ (called in the paper a Gray semigroup) and show that its first order (unitary) deformations, up to the suitable notion of…
In the first part, we give an explicit description of the cotangent complex of differential graded (dg) operads, modeled as an operadic infinitesimal bimodule. This leads to a uniform formula for the Quillen cohomology of their associated…
We develop a framework for derived deformation theory, valid in all characteristics. This gives a model category reconciling local and global approaches to derived moduli theory. In characteristic 0, we use this to show that the homotopy…
We upgrade the classical operation of \textit{isomonodromic deformations} along a path $\gamma$ to a functor $\mathbb{P}_{\gamma}$ between categories of flat connections with logarithmic singularities along a divisor $D$, which itself…
In \cite{CompTheo} we studied the indeterminacy of the value of a derived functor at an object using different definitions of a derived functor and different types of fibrant replacement. In the present work we focus on derived or homotopy…
To any non-negatively graded dg Lie algebra $g$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero we assign a functor $\Sigma_g: art/k \to Kan$ from the category of commutative local artinian $k$-algebras with the residue field $k$ to the category of…
In this paper we develop the basic infinitesimal deformation theory of abelian categories. This theory yields a natural generalization of the well-known deformation theory of algebras developed by Gerstenhaber. As part of our deformation…
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…
Deformational structures, in many aspects generalizing standard elasticity theory, are investigated in abstract form. Within free deformational structures we define algebra of deformations, classify them by its special properties, define…
We begin with a deformation of a differential graded algebra by adding time and using a homotopy. It is shown that the standard formulae of It\^o calculus are an example, with four caveats: First, it says nothing about probability. Second,…
Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…
Given a DG-category A we introduce the bar category of modules Modbar(A). It is a DG-enhancement of the derived category D(A) of A which is isomorphic to the category of DG A-modules with A-infinity morphisms between them. However, it is…
