Abstract: We propose a simple method for constructing formal deformations of differential graded algebras in the category of minimal $A_{i}nfty$-algebras. The basis for our approach is provided by the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the $A_{i}nfty$-cohomology, which we define in terms of the brace operations. As an example, we construct a minimal $A_{i}nfty$-algebra from the Weyl-Moyal $ast$-product algebra of polynomial functions.

Review text

The paper under review is devoted to the study of formal deformations of families of differential graded algebras in the category of minimal \(A_\infty\)-algebras in the sense [\textit{A. A. Sharapov} and \textit{E. D. Skvortsov}, ``On deformations of \(A_\infty\)-algebras, J. Phys. A 52, No. 47, 475--203 (2019); \textit{M. Penkava} and \textit{A. Schwarz}, Transl., Ser. 2, Am. Math. Soc. 169, 91--107 (1995; Zbl 0863.17017)]. Given a one-parameter family, the authors construct a minimal \(A_\infty\)-algebra \(A\) in terms of the cocycle determined by the set of appropriated elements from the Hochschild cohomology groups \(HH^n(A)\). Their approach is elementary; it is based on the notion of the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the \(A_\infty\)-cohomology that can be expressed in terms of the brace operations introduced in (see [\textit{T. V. Kadeishvili}, Tr. Tbilis. Mat. Inst. Razmadze 91, 19--27 (1988; Zbl 0717.55011)]). Among other things, they also show that the solutions of the equation \({a\cdot a=0}\), \(a\in A\), can be deformed to a Maurer-Cartan element of the minimal \(A_\infty\)-algebra. As an example, a minimal \(A_\infty\)-algebra from the Weyl-Moyal \(\ast\)-product algebra of polynomial functions is constructed explicitly.
