Formal neighborhood of isolated singularity via DAG
I work over a field of characteristic $0$, denoted $k$. Let $f:\mathbf{A}^{d+1}\rightarrow\mathbf{A}^{1}$ have an isolated singularity at $0$, and let $\widehat{Z}$ denote the formal neighborhood of $...

Computing the cotangent complex of morphisms of perfect complexes
In Lurie's Spectral Algebraic Geometry the cotangent complex of $\textbf{Perf}$ is computed as $ \Sigma^{-1}( \mathscr{F} \otimes \mathscr{F}^\vee)$ for some universal $\mathscr{F} \in \text{Qcoh}(\...

Cotangent complex of a formal thickening
Let $R$ be an (animated) commutative ring, with cotangent complex $L_R$ and let $\mathcal{C}(R) = \mathcal{D}(R)_{\Sigma^{-1}L_R/}$ be the category of nice square zero extensions of $R$. A typical ...

Deligne's letter to Millson
The deformation theoretic principle that any reasonable deformation problem should be governed by a dg-Lie algebra seems to come from a letter of Deligne to Millson. It is clear how the Maurer-Cartan ...

A question about relative deformations of the structure sheaf of the diagonal
Let $X$ be a smooth proper algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$. Let us consider an associative
algebra $${p_2}_*{\mathcal{H}{om}}_{X\times X}(\mathcal{O}_\Delta, \mathcal{O}_\Delta) \in \text{Alg}_\...

Connectedness, loops and formal moduli problems
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Formalizing a classical folk concept, Pridham and (in a different way,) Lurie defined a formal moduli problem (over $k$) to be a ...

Schlessinger criterion and finiteness of tangent space
Schlessinger's criterion allows us to study whether or not a functor $\mathcal{F}:C_{\Lambda}\rightarrow \text{Set}$ from the category of local Artin $\Lambda$-algebras to sets is representable. One ...

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 ...

deformation theory in positive characteristic
The idea "Formal deformation theory in characteristic zero is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra (dgla)" goes back to Goldman-Millson, Deligne, Drinfeld among others; see Lurie's ICM talk....

derived schemes and perfect obstruction theories
In a survey article of Toen's it is claimed that that there is forgetful $\infty$-functor between the $\infty$-category of derived schemes locally of finite presentation over a field $k$ and the $\...

Derived Deformations of associative algebras
Let $k$ be a field (if necessary for my question, we can assume its characteristic to be zero). In the non derived context, we can then define deformations of an associative algebra $S$ as follows:

Higher commutators in E_n algebras and the Maurer--Cartan equation
Let $A$ be an associative algebra in $dgVect_k$. Then the commutator $[\cdot,\cdot]:A\otimes A\to A$ defined by $[x,y]=xy-(-1)^{|x||y|}yx$ gives $A$ the structure of a (dg-)Lie algebra. The Maurer--...

Why should we study deformations of perfect complexes
What are the advantanges of studying deformation of perfect complexes over the classical theory of deformation of coherent sheaves? Any references which elaborates on the applications on deformation ...
