Abstract

This is the second paper in a series. In part I we developed deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories of DG categories. Here we extend these (derived) deformation functors to an appropriate bicategory of artinian DG algebras and prove that these extended functors are pro-representable in a strong sense.

Alexander Efimov is a new co-author of this paper. New material was added: A_{\infty}-structures, Maurer-Cartan theory for A_{\infty}-algebras. This allows us to strengthen our main results on the pro-representability of pseudo-functors coDEF_{-} and DEF_{-}. We also obtain an equivalence between homotopy and derived deformation functors under weaker hypotheses
