In this note we show that the main results of the paper [PR] can be obtained as consequences of more general results concerning categories whose morphisms can be uniquely presented as compositions of morphisms of their two subcategories with the same objects. First we will prove these general results and then we will apply it to the case of finite noncommutative sets.
We prove that deformations of tame Krull-Schmidt bimodule problems with trivial differential are again tame. Here we understand deformations via the structure constants of the projective realizations which may be considered as elements of a suitable variety. We also present some applications to the representation theory of vector space categories which are a special case of the above bimodule problems.
We study the second Hochschild cohomology group of the preprojective algebra of type D₄ over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 2. We also calculate the second Hochschild cohomology group of a non-standard algebra which arises as a socle deformation of this preprojective algebra and so show that the two algebras are not derived equivalent. This answers a question raised by Holm and Skowroński.
