Abstract

If X is a projective variety and G is an algebraic group acting algebraically on X, we provide a counter-example to the existence of a G-equivariant extension on the formal semi-universal deformation of X.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Prof. Bernd Siebert for many useful discussions. Actually, I learned the idea of using the extension of vector fields and their relations as obstructions to the extension of the group action from an unpublished paper of his. This provides a strategy to attack the problem. I am specially thankful to Prof. Julien Grivaux for his careful reading and his comments which help to improve the manuscript. Finally, I am warmly grateful to the referee whose work led to a remarkable improvement of the paper.
