    Abstract

    In this paper, we study the moduli space of $1|2$-dimensional complex
    associative algebras, which is also the moduli space of codifferentials on the
    tensor coalgebra of a $2|1$-dimensional complex space. We construct the moduli
    space by considering extensions of lower dimensional algebras. We also
    construct miniversal deformations of these algebras. This gives a complete
    description of how the moduli space is glued together via jump deformations.

  3. Extensions of associative algebras.

    Abstract

    In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension
    problem for associative algebras; that is the problem of extending an
    associative algebra by another associative algebra. We then give a similar
    interpretation of infinitesimal deformations of extensions. In particular, we
    consider infinitesimal deformations of representations of an associative
    algebra.
