Deformation Theory of Abelian Categories

چکیده

In this paper we develop the basic infinitesimal deformation theory of abelian categories. This theory yields a natural generalization of the wellknown deformation theory of algebras developed by Gerstenhaber. As part of our deformation theory we define a notion of flatness for abelian categories. We show that various basic properties are preserved under flat deformations and we construct several equivalences between deformation problems.

Abelian Categories of Modules over a (Lax) Monoidal Functor

In [CY98] Crane and Yetter introduced a deformation theory for monoidal categories. The related deformation theory for monoidal functors introduced by Yetter in [Yet98] is a proper generalization of Gerstenhaber’s deformation theory for associative algebras [Ger63, Ger64, GS88]. In the present paper we solidify the analogy between lax monoidal functors and associative algebras by showing that u...

Deformation of Outer Representations of Galois Group

To a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field one naturally associates an "anabelian" representation of the absolute Galois group of the base field landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce several deformation problems for Lie-algebra versions of the above representation and show that, this way we get a richer structure than t...

Twisting of monoidal structures

This article is devoted to the investigation of the deformation (twisting) of monoidal structures, such as the associativity constraint of the monoidal category and the monoidal structure of monoidal functor. The sets of twistings have a (non-abelian) c ohomological nature. Using this fact the maps from the sets of twistings to some cohomology groups (Hochschild cohomology of K-theory) are cons...

On categories of merotopic, nearness, and filter algebras

We study algebraic properties of categories of Merotopic, Nearness, and Filter Algebras. We show that the category of filter torsion free abelian groups is an epireflective subcategory of the category of filter abelian groups. The forgetful functor from the category of filter rings to filter monoids is essentially algebraic and the forgetful functor from the category of filter groups to the cat...

Semi-abelian Exact Completions

The theory of protomodular categories provides a simple and general context in which the basic theorems needed in homological algebra of groups, rings, Lie algebras and other non-abelian structures can be proved [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [9] [20]. An interesting aspect of the theory comes from the fact that there is a natural intrinsic notion of normal monomorphism [4]. Since any internal reflexi...
