A DG-Enhancement of {D}ₐ₂ (X) with Applications in Deformation Theory

Abstract It is well-known that DG-enhancements of the unbounded derived category {D}ₐ₂ (X) Dqc (X) of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme X are all equivalent to each other. Here we present an explicit model which leads to applications in deformation theory. In particular, we shall describe three models for derived endomorphisms of a quasi-coherent sheaf F F on a finite-dimensional Noetherian separated scheme (even if F F does not admit a locally free resolution). Moreover, these complexes are endowed with DG-Lie algebra structures, which we prove to control infinitesimal deformations of F F.
