ABSTRACT Let $\mathcal{W}$ be a complete local commutative Noetherian ring with
residue field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. We study the inverse problem
for the versal deformation rings $R_{\mathcal{W}}(\Gamma,V)$ relative to
$\mathcal{W}$ of finite dimensional representations $V$ of a profinite group
$\Gamma$ over $k$. We show that for all $p$ and $n \ge 1$, the ring
$\mathcal{W}[[t]]/(p^n t,t^2)$ arises as a universal deformation ring. This
ring is not a complete intersection if $p^n\mathcal{W}\neq\{0\}$, so we obtain
an answer to a question of M. Flach in all characteristics. We also study the
`inverse inverse problem' for the ring $\mathcal{W}[[t]]/(p^n t,t^2)$; this is
to determine all pairs $(\Gamma, V)$ such that $R_{\mathcal{W}}(\Gamma,V)$ is
isomorphic to this ring.

##### Article: Universal deformation rings of string modules over a certain symmetric special biserial algebra
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Let $\k$ be an algebraically closed field, let $\A$ be a finite dimensional $\k$-algebra and let $V$ be a $\A$-module with stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $\k$. If $\A$ is self-injective then $V$ has a universal deformation ring $R(\A,V)$, which is a complete local commutative Noetherian $\k$-algebra with residue field $\k$. Moreover, if $\Lambda$ is also a Frobenius $\k$-algebra then $R(\A,V)$ is stable under syzygies. We use these facts to determine the universal deformation rings of string $\Ar$-modules whose stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $\k$, where $\Ar$ is a symmetric special biserial $\k$-algebra that has quiver with relations depending on the four parameters $\bar{r}=(r_0,r_1,r_2,k)$ with $r_0,r_1,r_2\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$.

##### Article: The inverse deformation problem
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show the inverse deformation problem has an affirmative answer: given a complete local noetherian ring $A$ with finite residue field $\pmb{k}$, we show that there is a topologically finitely generated profinite group $\Gamma$ and an absolutely irreducible continuous representation $\bar\rho:\Gamma\to GL_n(\pmb{k})$ such that $A$ is the universal deformation ring for $\Gamma,\bar\rho$.

##### Article: Large universal deformation rings
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We provide a series of examples of finite groups G and mod p representations V of G whose stable endomorphisms are all given by scalars such that V has a universal deformation ring R(G,V) which is large in the sense that R(G,V)/pR(G,V) is isomorphic to a power series algebra in one variable.
