Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field and \(R\) a (commutative) finitely generated \(k\)-algebra. Studying deformations of \(R\)-modules one realizes that for each maximal ideal \(\mathfrak{m}\subseteq R\) the deformation functor \(\text{Def}_{\mathfrak{m}}\) has a so-called prorepresenting hull isomorphic to \(\widehat{R}_{\mathfrak{m}}\). In the case that \(R\) is not commutative the deformation theory can be generalized to families of right (or left) \(R\)-modules [cf. \textit{O. A. Laudal}, Homology Homotoy Appl. 4, No. 2(2), 357--396 (2002; Zbl 1013.16018)] replacing the complete local rings with the local formal moduli of finite subsets of the simple modules. The results are used to define geometric formal localizations and the noncommutative affine spectrum \(\text{Spec}(R)\). This leads to the definition of a noncommutative variety and its relation to noncommutative moduli. The theory is applied to the noncommutative moduli of three-dimensional endomorphisms.
