In these notes we provide the foundation for the deformation theoretic parts
of arXiv:0807.375 and arXiv:math/0102005.
We show that determinantal varieties defined by maximal minors of a generic
matrix have a non-commutative desingularization, in that we construct a maximal
Cohen-Macaulay module over such a variety whose endomorphism ring is
Cohen-Macaulay and has finite global dimension. In the case of the determinant
of a square matrix, this gives a non-commutative crepant resolution.
We define and investigate deformed n-Calabi-Yau completions of homologically
smooth differential graded (=dg) categories. Important examples are: deformed
preprojective algebras of connected non Dynkin quivers, Ginzburg dg algebras
associated to quivers with potentials and dg categories associated to the
category of coherent sheaves on the canonical bundle of a smooth variety. We
show that deformed Calabi-Yau completions do have the Calabi-Yau property and
that their construction is compatible with derived equivalences and with
localizations.
We define the Hochschild (co)homology of a ringed space relative to a locally
free Lie algebroid. Our definitions mimic those of Swan and Caldararu for an
algebraic variety. We show that our (co)homology groups can be computed using
suitable standard complexes.
Our formulae depend on certain natural structures on jetbundles over Lie
algebroids. In an appendix we explain this by showing that such jetbundles are
formal groupoids which serve as the formal exponentiation of the Lie algebroid.
