What classifies deformations of group schemes (or Hopf algebras)?
The cotangent complex of a scheme classifies its deformations.
That is, if $X$ is a scheme over a field $k$ (with conditions?) and $\mathbf{T}^*_X\in D^b(\text{QCoh}(X))$ its cotangent complex, the ...

Linear deformations of a morphism between stacks
Given smooth algebraic stacks $\mathcal{X}$, $\mathcal{Y}$ what are the linear deformations $\operatorname{Def}^1(f: \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y})$ of a morphism $f:\mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$?
In ...

formal smoothness and cotangent complex
If $k$ is a field and $A$ is a formally smooth $k$-algebra, then we know that $\Omega^{1}_{A/k}$ is projective. What about its cotangent complex $L_{A/k}$? When is it quasi-isomorphic to $\Omega^{1}_{...

Intuition about the cotangent complex?
Does anyone have an answer to the question "What does the cotangent complex measure?"
Algebraic intuitions (like "homology measures how far a sequence is from being exact") are as welcome as ...

Are deformations of a scheme some kind of a "derived gerbe" under the cotangent complex?
(This is probably a very naive question. My understanding of the cotangent complex is quite vague.)
Let me first recall the picture for deformations of a smooth morphism:
If $f:X_0\to S_0$ is a ...

Cotangent Complex in Analytic Category
I am looking for a reference which develops the theory of the cotangent complex for complex analytic spaces. I need this to justify some computations I did assuming some formal properties which hold ...

Elementary (English) reference for the cotangent complex?
I'm trying to understand cotangent complexes and their role in deformation theory, and later the statement that they're somehow natural in a derived scheme/stack.
I understand that the standard ...
