Differential modules and Deformations of Free Complexes

Abstract

We classify (up to quasi-isomorphism) the free differential modules whose homology is equal to a given module MM by developing a theory for deforming an arbitrary free complex into a differential module. We use an iterative approach to parameterize the deformations and obstructions in terms of certain Ext groups, giving an algorithmic realization of a result of Brown-Erman. We apply this theory to study certain rigidity properties of free resolutions and related rank conjectures.
