Geometry of Deformations via Incidence Varieties
Abstract
We provide a unified geometric realization of the classical deformation complexes. We construct GL-equivariant bilinear incidence varieties whose diagonal slices recover the varieties of associative, commutative, Leibniz, and Lie algebra structures on a finite-dimensional vector space. We prove that the fiber of the incidence map at a given algebra law is canonically isomorphic to the space of 2-cocycles in the corresponding cohomology theory (Hochschild, Harrison, Leibniz, or Chevalley--Eilenberg). Furthermore, we introduce invariant bilinear forms to define open strata of separable and semisimple algebras, and demonstrate that these strata consist of open GL-orbits, establishing the rigidity of generic points in the coarse moduli spaces for all four geometries.
