Definition 90.14.4. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a predeformation category. We say a versal formal object $\xi $ of $\mathcal{F}$ is minimal1 if for any morphism of formal objects $\xi ' \to \xi $ the underlying map on rings is surjective. Sometimes a minimal versal formal object is called miniversal.

[1] This may be nonstandard terminology. Many authors tie this notion in with properties of tangent spaces. We will make the link in Section 90.15.
