Deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories. III: Abelian categories (Q631791)

[For part I, see ibid. 222, No.~2, 359--401 (2009; Zbl 1180.18006); for part II see ibid. 224, No.~1, 45--102 (2010; Zbl 1197.18003).] The deformation theory for differential graded modules over a differential graded category developed in the first part of this work is now adapted to the setting of complexes over an abelian category. The pro-representability theorems of the second part are then applied to the study of deformations of quasi-coherent sheaves on a locally Noetherian scheme. Finally, half of the article is devoted to the study of non-commutative Grassmanians. Briefly, a finite-dimensional vector space \(V\) of dimension \(n\) and an integer \(m < n\) define a quadratic \(\mathbb Z\)-algebra, i.e., a linear category with objects \(\mathbb Z\). The category of modules over this algebra modulo torsion ``should be thought of as the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a non-commutative stack'': This is \(NGr(m, V)\). The authors explain then which are the expected properties of such an object and why they are satisfied.
