| contents | Contraction algebras are noncommutative algebras introduced by Donovan and Wemyss to classify of 3-dimensional flops. Wemyss conjectures that contraction algebras can be deformed to a single semisimple algebra. This gives an intrinsic method of calculating Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of the flop.
The main result is a proof of Wemyss' conjecture for types A and D. In the course of the proof, we recall and introduce new techniques for constructing flat deformations of associative algebras and compare various notions of deformations. We also put forward two conjectures which hint towards a deeper theory. |
