%0 Journal Article %T Deformation theory and Lie algebra homology %A Vladimir Hinich %A Vadim Schechtman %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %X A description of a ring of functions on the base of a universal formal deformation for several moduli problems is given. The answer is given in terms of a homology group of a certain dg Lie algebra canonically (up to an essentially unique quasi-isomorphism) associated with a problem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/alg-geom/9405013v2
