Abstract

We introduce the topic of algebraic deformation theory developed by Murray Gerstenhaber in 1960’s to the Vietnamese audiences in this paper. Currently, this topic is studied very extensively in the field of algebraic geometry. On the other hand, we applied this theory to study the first order deformations of linear monoidal categories and found a new result in completing components in low degrees (degree 1, 2 and 3) of the differential map in the Yetter multi pre-complex. Shrestha (2010) introduced a formula for components in low degrees (degree 1, 2 and 3) of the differential map in the Yetter multi pre-complex. His formula was not fully completed. In this paper, we offer a completed formula for these components of low degrees with nice explanations.
