Abstract

Let be a morphism of complex manifolds, and assume that is compact. Let be a subsheaf which is closed under the Lie bracket. The present paper contains an elementary and very geometric argument to show that all obstructions to deforming along the sheaf lie in , where is the image of under the pull-back of the inclusion map. Special cases of this result include Miyaoka's theory of deformation along a foliation, Keel-McKernan's logarithmic deformation theory and deformations with fixed points.
