This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over $\Z$ or $\Z_l$ with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger…
The category of unital (unbounded) dg cocommutative coalgebras over a field of characteristic zero is provided with a structure of simplicial closed model category. This generalizes the model structure defined by Quillen in 1969 for…
We use the Thom-Whitney construction to show that infinitesimal deformations of a coherent sheaf F are controlled by the differential graded Lie algebra of global sections of an acyclic resolution of the sheaf End(E), where E is any locally…
Deformation theory is treated for locally notherian formal schemes (non necessarily smooth). The cotangent complex is defined in the derived category through the homology localization functor. The basic properties and results of a…
In this paper, we develop the deformation theory controlled by pre-Lie algebras; the main tool is a new integration theory for pre-Lie algebras. The main field of application lies in homotopy algebra structures over a Koszul operad; in this…
There has long been a philosophy that every deformation problem in characteristic zero should be governed by a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA). In this paper, the theory of Simplicial Deformation Complexes (SDCs) is developed, as an…
For any factorization domain $\cal A$ and an algebra endomorphism $\sigma$ of $\cal A$, there exists a non-associative algebra $({\cal A},\sigma,[\cdot,\cdot])$ with multiplication satisfying skew-symmetry and generalized (twisted) Jacobi…
It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.
We show that a graded commutative algebra A with any square zero odd differential operator is a natural generalization of a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. While such an operator of order 2 defines a Gerstenhaber (Lie) algebra structure on A,…
The $L_\infty$-algebra is an algebraic structure suitable for describing deformation problems. In this paper we construct one $L_\infty$-algebra, which turns out to be a differential graded Lie algebra, to control the deformations of Lie…
The deformation theory of a Dirac structure is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra which depends on the choice of an auxiliary transversal Dirac structure; if the transversal is not involutive, one obtains an $L_\infty$ algebra…
Infinitesimal deformations are governed by partition Lie algebras. In characteristic $0$, these higher categorical structures are modelled by differential graded Lie algebras, but in characteristic $p$, they are more subtle. We give…
In this paper we develop the $A_\infty$-analog of the Maurer-Cartan simplicial set associated to an $L_\infty$-algebra and show how we can use this to study the deformation theory of $\infty$-morphisms of algebras over non-symmetric…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field. We show that if a quantum formal deformation $A$ of a commutative domain $A_0$ over $F$ is a PI algebra, then $A$ is commutative if ${\rm char}(F)=0$, and has PI degree a power of $p$ if ${\rm…
We extend the classical concept of deformation of an associative algebra, as introduced by Gerstenhaber, by using monoidal linear categories and cocommutative coalgebras as foundational tools. To achieve this goal, we associate to each…
Let $A$ be a star product on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega_0)$, $\frac{1}{t}[\omega]$ its Fedosov class, where $\omega$ is a deformation of $\omega_0$. We prove that for a complex polarization of $\omega$ there exists a commutative…
Generalising a previous work of Jiang and Sheng, a cohomology theory for differential Lie algebras of arbitrary weight is introduced. The underlying $L_\infty[1]$-structure on the cochain complex is also determined via a generalised version…
We discuss quantum deformation of the affine transformation algebra. It is shown that the quantum algebra has a non-cocommutative Hopf algebra structure, simple realizations and quantum tensor operators.
Deformed gauge transformations on deformed coordinate spaces are considered for any Lie algebra. The representation theory of this gauge group forces us to work in a deformed Lie algebra as well. This deformation rests on a twisted Hopf…
We construct the deformation functor associated with a pair of morphisms of differential graded Lie algebras, and use it to study infinitesimal deformations of holomorphic maps of compact complex manifolds. In particular, using L-infinity…
