Kodaira–Spencer map

In mathematics, the Kodaira–Spencer map, introduced by Kunihiko Kodaira and Donald C. Spencer, is a map associated to a deformation of a scheme or complex manifold X, taking a tangent space of a point of the deformation space to the first cohomology group of the sheaf of vector fields on X.

Definition

The Kodaira–Spencer map is^[1]

\delta :T_{0}S\to H^{1}(X,TX)

where

${\mathcal {X}}\to S$ is a smooth proper map between complex spaces^[2] (i.e., a deformation of the special fiber $X={\mathcal {X}}_{0}$ .)
$\delta$ is the connecting homomorphism obtained by taking a long exact cohomology sequence of the surjection $T{\mathcal {X}}|_{X}\to T_{0}S\otimes {\mathcal {O}}_{X}$ whose kernel is the tangent bundle $TX$ .

If $v$ is in $T_{0}S$ , then its image $\delta (v)$ is called the Kodaira–Spencer class of v.

The basic fact is: there is a natural bijection between isomorphisms classes of ${\mathcal {X}}\to S=\operatorname {Spec}({\mathbb {C}}[t]/t^{2})$ and $H^{1}(X,TX)$ .
