ABSTRACT: We prove that, on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed
field of characteristic 0, the semiregularity map annihilates every obstruction
to embedded deformations of a local complete intersection subvariety with
extendable normal bundle. The proof is based on the theory of L-infinity
algebras and Tamarkin-Tsigan calculus on the de Rham complex of DG-schemes.

ABSTRACT: We show that if a generator of a differential Gerstenhaber algebra satisfies
certain Cartan-type identities, then the corresponding Lie bracket is formal.
Geometric examples include the shifted de Rham complex of a Poisson manifold
and the subcomplex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold vanishing on
a Lagrangian submanifold, endowed with the Koszul bracket. As a corollary we
generalize a recent result by Hitchin on deformations of holomorphic Poisson
manifolds.

ABSTRACT: We introduce the combinatorial notion of posetted trees and we use it in
order to write an explicit expression of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula.

ABSTRACT: We give a completely algebraic proof of the Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov theorem. More precisely, we shall prove that if X is a smooth projective variety with trivial canonical bundle defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, then the L-infinity algebra governing infinitesimal deformations of X is quasi-isomorphic to an abelian differential graded Lie algebra.

ABSTRACT: For every compact Kaehler manifold we give a canonical extension of Griffith's period map to generalized deformations, intended as solutions of Maurer-Cartan equation in the algebra of polyvector fields. Our construction involves the notion of Cartan homotopy and a canonical L-infinity structure on mapping cones of morphisms of differential graded Lie algebras.

ABSTRACT: We identify Cech cocycles in nonabelian (formal) group cohomology with
Maurer-Cartan elements in a suitable L-infinity algebra. Applications to
deformation theory are described.

ABSTRACT: We prove that, for every compact Kaehler manifold, the period map of its Kuranishi family is induced by a natural L-infinity morphism. This implies, by standard facts about L-infinity algebras, that the period map is a "morphism of deformation theories" and then commutes with all deformation theoretic constructions (e.g. obstructions).

ABSTRACT: We show that the mapping cone of a morphism of differential graded Lie algebras $\chi\colon L\to M$ can be canonically endowed with an $L_\infty$-algebra structure which at the same time lifts the Lie algebra structure on $L$ and the usual differential on the mapping cone. Moreover, this structure is unique up to isomorphisms of $L_\infty$-algebras. The associated deformation functor coincides with the one introduced by the second author in arXiv:math.AG/0507287.
