Deformations of the Fermat curve
We work over an algebraically closed field $k$, say of characteristic $0$, just in case, and we let $C$ be a smooth curve over $k$. First-order deformations of $C$ (or of any smooth variety for that ...

Is it true that all smooth group schemes can be deformed?
Consider for instance the map $\mathbb Z/p^2 \to \mathbb Z/p$ and suppose we are given a group smooth scheme $G$ over $\mathbb Z/p$. Is it always possible to lift it to a smooth group scheme $G'$ over ...

Smooth loci and formal neighborhoods
Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $I$.
Suppose we have a morphism of smooth $R$-algebras $f : A\to B$ such that its reduction modulo $I^n$
$$f_n : A/I^n \to B/I^n$$
is an ...

Clarification on relationship between Grothendieck-Messing and Honda systems
It's well-known, due to work of Fontaine (see e.g. this), that if $k$ is a perfect field of characteristic $p$, then one can classify $p$-divisible groups over $W(k)$ by Honda systems. Namely, these ...

Confusion regarding Riemann-Roch for vector bundles
Let $k$ be an infinite non-algebraically closed field, $X$ a smooth projective curve on $k$ and $E$ a locally-free sheaf on $X$ of rank at least $2$. Denote by $\bar{k}$ the algebraic closure of $k$, $...

Obstruction and 1st order infinitesimal deformations of Generalized Elliptic Curves (Deligne-Rapoport)
We consider the deformation theory of a generalized elliptic curve $(C_0,+)$ over a field $k$. Let $D$ be the deformation functor.
And now we only consider the case that $C_0$ is irreducible as in D-R ...
