Nonflat deformations of modules and isolated singularities (Q919419)

Let k be a field, \(A_ 0\) a k-algebra, \(M_ 0\) a finite \(A_ 0\)-module with isolated singularities. Let \(V_ 0=Spec(A_ 0)-Sing(M_ 0)\). If R is a complete local k-algebra, it is shown that the natural map \(\overline{Def}_{{\mathcal F}_ 0/k}(R)\to \lim_{\leftarrow}\overline{Def}_{{\mathcal F}_ 0/k}(R/m_ R^{n+1})\) is surjective, where \(\overline{Def}\) is the deformation functor, and \({\mathcal F}_ 0\) is a fixed vector bundle on \(V_ 0\). As a consequence it is shown that \({\mathcal F}_ 0/k\) has a semiuniversal deformation. The same thing is proved in the case of deformations of the punctured spectrum \(U_ 0=Spec(A_ 0)-Sing(A_ 0)\), where \(A_ 0\) is pure-d-dimensional and \(Sing(A_ 0)\) is finite.
