Abstract:
We study relations between the quadraticity of the Kuranishi family of a coherent sheaf on a complex projective scheme and the formality of the DG-Lie algebra of its derived endomorphisms. In particular, we prove that for a polystable coherent sheaf of a smooth complex projective surface the DG-Lie algebra of derived endomorphisms is formal if and only if the Kuranishi family is quadratic.
Key words and phrases:deformation theory, polystable sheaves, formality, differential graded Lie algebras, $L_{\infty}$-algebras.
