Topology and Geometry Seminar

Location: CL 251
Speaker: Martin Frankland, University of Regina
Title: Deformation functors
Abstract:
In the previous talk, we got comfortable with the category of Artin local rings. In this second part, we will move on to functors of Artin rings, deformation functors, and some examples. Time permitting, we will discuss Schlessinger's theorem, giving conditions for a deformation functor to be well approximated by a pro-representable one.
