Abstract
Let A and A0 be rings with a surjective homomorphism A → A0. Given a flat extension B0 of A0, a deformation of B0/A0 over A is a flat extension B of A such that B ⊗AA0 is isomorphic to B0. We show that such a deformation will exist if A0 is an Artin local ring, A is noetherian, and the homological dimension of B0 over A0 is ≤ 2. We also show that a deformation will exist if the kernel of A is nilpotent and if A0 is a finitely generted A0-algebra whose defining ideal is a local complete intersection.
