Feb 16, 2016 at 19:01 comment added roy smith oops, I wasn't paying close attention.
Feb 16, 2016 at 6:22 comment added Christian @roysmith thank you for your comment. As far as I can tell, Beauville writes about the tangent space to $X$, and not the tangent space at $X$ in the moduli of log-canonically polarized varieties. That is, I am interested in the deformations of $X$ itself, not of its objects.
Feb 16, 2016 at 5:23 comment added roy smith try page 380 of Beauville's doctor of science paper: math1.unice.fr/~beauvill/pubs/prym.pdf
Feb 15, 2016 at 16:35 comment added Will Sawin I believe $T_X$ is the same as $\operatorname{Sym}^2 $ of the relative tangent bundle of the universal family.

Jason Starr explained what the deformation space to $X$ is in the comments below.
Feb 15, 2016 at 16:14 comment added Christian @JasonStarr Thank you again. It seems that my intuition was completely wrong.
Feb 15, 2016 at 15:22 comment added Jason Starr Christian: I would advise you to write down one example. For instance, if $\overline{V}$ is a smooth, projective curve of genus $g>1$, if $D$ is an effective Cartier divisor of degree $1$ on $\overline{V}$, and if $V$ is the open complement of $D$, then $\text{Ext}^1_{\mathcal{O}_V}(\Omega_{V/k},\mathcal{O}_V)$ is the zero vector space, while $H^1(\overline{V},T_{\overline{V}/k}(\text{log}\ D))$ is nonzero.
Feb 15, 2016 at 15:16 comment added Christian @JasonStarr Thank you for your comment. If $V$ is log-canonically polarized with Hilbert polynomial $h$, will the dimension of $Ext^1(\Omega, \mathcal O)$ be equal to the dimension of the tangent space to the object $[V]$ in the stack of log-canonically polarized varieties with Hilbert polynomial $h$? Or is this $Ext^1$ possibly bigger than this tangent space?
Feb 15, 2016 at 15:05 comment added Jason Starr For any finite type scheme $V$ over a field $k$, whether or not it is smooth, projective, etc., the vector space of first order deformations of $V$ as a $k$-scheme equals $\text{Ext}^1_{\mathcal{O}_V}(\Omega_{V/k},\mathcal{O}_V)$.
