Abstract: We explicitly describe infintesimal deformations of cyclic quotient singularities that satisfy one of the deformation conditions introduced by Wahl, Koll'ar-Shepherd-Barron and Viehweg. The conclusion is that in many cases these three notions are different from each other. In particular, we see that while the KSB and the Viehweg versions of the moduli space of surfaces of general type have the same underlying reduced subscheme, their infinitesimal structures are different.


The authors give an explicit description of the space \(T^1\) of first order infinitesimal deformations of two-dimensional cyclic quotient singularities that satisfy certain conditions on the compatibility with powers of dualizing sheaf, introduced by \textit{J. M. Wahl} [Math. Ann. 253, 241--262 (1980; Zbl 0431.14012)], \textit{J. Kollár} and \textit{N. I. Shepherd-Barron} [Invent. Math. 91, No. 2, 299--338 (1988; Zbl 0642.14008)] and \textit{E. Viehweg} [Quasi-projective moduli for polarized manifolds. Berlin: Springer-Verlag (1995; Zbl 0844.14004)]; these deformations are called W-deformation, qG-deformation, and V-deformation, respectively. The result implies that these notions are different over Artinian base space. For the explicit calculation of infinitesimal deformations of these types, the authors give a description of a cyclic quotient \(S\) as toric varieties in terms of cone over an interval \([-A,B]\subset \mathbb Q\) with uniform denominators at the end, and put a natural \(\mathbb Z^2\)-grading on modules appearing in the calculations. Then the formulas of dimension of \(T^1_V(S)\), \(T^1_{qG}(S)\), \(T^1_{VW}(S)\) are expressed by \(A\) and \(B\), where a VW-deformation is both a V-deformation and a W-deformation. As an example, the authors show that if \(A=B=\frac{2}{5}\), then \(\dim T^1_{qG}(S)=0\), \(\dim T^1_{VW}(S)=1\), \(\dim T^1_{V}(S)=3\).
