    The document outlines Schlessinger's criteria for classifying functors from a category C to Sets. It states that a functor F has a hull if it satisfies properties H1-H3: H1 allows gluing along surjections, H2 ensures uniqueness of gluing on small extensions, and H3 requires the tangent space to be finite dimensional. A functor F is pro-representable if it satisfies H1-H3 and the additional property H4, which requires gluing a small extension to itself to be a bijection. Property H4 ensures the set of lifts along a small extension has a transitive action by the tangent space.

    SCHLESSINGERS CRITERIA

    RAVI VAKIL

    Im tired of writing this on the board repeatedly, so here it is in the form of a


    handout.

    Fix our functor F : C Sets.

    Let A0 A and A00 A be morphisms in C, and consider the map


    (1) F (A0 A A00 ) F (A0 ) F (A) F (A00 ).

    (1) F has a hull iff F has properties H1H3:

    H1. (You can glue.) (1) is a surjection whenever A00 A is a small extension.
    Equivalently whenever A00 A is any surjection.
    H2. (Uniqueness of gluing on k[]/2 .) (1) is a bijection when A = k, A00 = k[]/2 .
    Equivalently, A00 = k[V ]. Then by previous lemma, tF is a k-vector space.
    H3. (finite-dimensional tangent space) dimk (tF ) < .

    (2) F is pro-representable if and only if F has the additional property

    H4. (bijection for gluing a small extension to itself)


    (2) F (A0 A A0 ) F (A0 ) F (A) F (A0 ).
    is a bijection for any small extension A0 A.

    Important comment. Assume F satisfies H1H3. Now given a fairly small exten-
    sion p : A0 A. Given any a F (A), i.e. family over A, the set of lifts to F (A0 )
    has a transitive action by the group tF I. H4 is precisely the condition that this
    set is a principal homogeneous space under tF I.
