Infinity-morphisms for operadic algebras
Is there an already studied notion of $\infty$-morphism between algebras over a quasi-free operad $P = (T(E), \partial)$?
If the operad $P$ is Koszul, or of the form $\Omega C$ for $C$ a cooperad, ...

Is any deformation of an acyclic complex gauge equivalent to a trivial one?
This question is related to this question. Let $(C^{\bullet},d)$ be a cochain complex over a field $k$ with char$k$=0. We fix an Artin local $k$-algebra $(A,m)$. A deformation of $d$ is a new operator ...

Does homotopy equivalence between deformations of cochain complexes imply gauge equivalence?
Let $(C^{\bullet},d)$ be a cochain complex over a field $k$ with char$k$=0. We fix an Artin local $k$-algebra $(A,m)$. A deformation of $d$ is a new operator $d+\epsilon: C^{\bullet}\otimes_k m\to C^{\...

L-infinity algebra of deformations of an L-infinity algebra?
From Schlessinger-Stasheff we know that a deformation problem should come with an associated $L_\infty$-algebra, so that gauge-equivalence classes of solutions to its Maurer-Cartan equation (the "MC ...

Are exterior algebras intrinsically formal as associative dg algebras?
(Cross-posted from mathematics stackexchange.)
Fix a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over a field of characteristic zero, and let $R=Sym(V[1])$ be the free graded commutative algebra generated by ...

Cohomology of little disks and dg algebras over $\mathbb{F}_p$
This a alternative form of the question I posted some time ago.
We, the people who don't know topology, are told that in characteristic p the formalizm of DG algebras is not quite adequate for ...

Compute action of the gauge group in deformation theory of an algebra
I am working on Balazs Szendroi's introduction to deformation theory, but I got stuck on the exercise on the bottom of page 6.
Consider a vector space $A$ with a multiplication $m$ that makes it into ...

Functoriality of the formality quasi-isomorphism of E-polydifferential operators
Given a smooth manifold $M$ and a Lie algebroid $E\rightarrow M$ we can consider the $E$-polydifferential operators $D_E$ and the $E$-polyvectorfields
$T_E$ as
$$D_E:=\bigoplus_{k=-1}^\infty\mathcal{...

Can the homological dimension of a coherent sheaf explode along a formal deformation? (is the resolution property hereditary for formal deformations?)
Let $X_0$ be a locally noetherian scheme and $\mathcal{F}_0$ a coherent $\mathcal{O}_{X_0}$-module. Let $C$ be an artin ring with residue field $k$ and let $X \to Spec C$ be a (flat) deformation of $...

Pro-representability of deformation functor associated to a DG Lie algebra
Edit : There are several satisfying proofs in the case each $L^i$ is finite-dimensional. It is proven (for example, Hinich DG coalgebras as formal stacks) that for $A$ : local Artin ring then $\...

Intrinsic formality versus rigidity of a differential graded Lie algebra
Let $\mathfrak g:=(V,d,[\cdot,\cdot])$ be a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) where $d$ is the zero differential.
Intrinsic formality: The DGLA $\mathfrak g$ will be said intrinsically formal ...

Brace algebra structure on the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra
As shown by Gerstenhaber and Voronov [Higher operations on the Hochschild complex], the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra is endowed with a natural structure of brace algebra. The first ...

Classical deformation of algebras
Given a complex manifold (or a smooth scheme) $X$, the classical (infinitesimal) deformation theory is parametrized by the first cohomology with coefficients in the tangent sheaf $H^1 (X, T_X)$.

Motivation behind the definition of hochschild cohomology
For an associative algebra $A$ one can define the Hochschild cohomology of $A$ as $ HH^n(A,A):= Hom_{\mathcal{D}(A^{op} \otimes A)}(A, [n]A)$ (this definition also works for the graded and dg cases as ...

Deformations of a complex trivial up to quasi-isomorphism
Let $(C, d_0)$ be some cochain complex over commutative ring $R$ and $R$ is an algebra over a field $k$, then I could consider complex $(C[t], d_0+td_1)$ over ring $R \otimes k[t]$ where $d_1$ is some ...
