Deformations of algebras defined by tilting bundles

Abstract: In this paper we produce noncommutative algebras derived equivalent to deformations of schemes with tilting bundles. We do this in two settings, first proving that a tilting bundle on a scheme lifts to a tilting bundle on an infinitesimal deformations of that scheme and then expanding this result to $\mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant deformations over schemes with a good $\mathbb{C}^*$-action. In both these situations the endomorphism algebra of the lifted tilting bundle produces a deformation of the original endomorphism algebra, and this is a graded deformation in the $\mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant case. We apply our results to rational surface singularities, generalising the deformed preprojective algebras, and also to symplectic situations where the deformations produced are related to symplectic reflection algebras.
