DGLA or $L_{\infty}$-algebra controlling the deformation of Einstein metrics and instantons
As proposed by Quillen, Drinfeld, and Deligne and other important mathematicians, there is supposed to be a philosophy that, at least over a field of characteristic zero, assigns to every "deformation ...

Holomorphic maps on moduli space and Deformation theory
Let $\mathcal{M},\mathcal{F}$ be the classifiying spaces (i.e. complex manifolds) of two (possibly) different moduli problem. To give a map
$$f:\mathcal{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{F}$$
means that for each ...
