A differential-geometric approach to deformations of pairs (X, E)
This article gives an exposition of the deformation theory for pairs (X, E), where X is a compact complex manifold and E is a holomorphic vector bundle over X, adapting an analytic viewpoint `a la Kodaira- Spencer. By introducing and exploiting an auxiliary differential operator, we derive the Maurer–Cartan equation and differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) governing the deformation problem, and express them in terms of differential-geometric notions such as the connection and curvature of E, obtaining...
