In Example \ref{example-representations} if $\Gamma$ is finitely generated
and $(V, \rho_0)$ is a finite dimensional representation of $\Gamma$
over $k$, then $\Deformationcategory_{V, \rho_0}$
admits a presentation by a smooth prorepresentable groupoid in functors
over $\mathcal{C}_\Lambda$
and a fortiori has a (minimal) versal formal object. This follows
from Lemmas \ref{lemma-representations-RS} and \ref{lemma-representations-TI}
and the general discussion in Section \ref{section-general}.

\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-representations-hull}
In Example \ref{example-representations} assume $\Gamma$ finitely generated.
Let $\rho_0 : \Gamma \to \text{GL}_k(V)$ be a finite dimensional representation.
Assume $\Lambda$ is a complete local ring with residue field $k$
(the classical case). Then the functor
$$
F : \mathcal{C}_\Lambda \longrightarrow \textit{Sets},\quad
A \longmapsto \Ob(\Deformationcategory_{V, \rho_0}(A))/\cong
$$
of isomorphism classes of objects has a hull. If
$H^0(\Gamma, \text{End}_k(V)) = k$, then $F$ is
prorepresentable.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
The existence of a hull follows from Lemmas \ref{lemma-representations-RS} and
\ref{lemma-representations-TI} and
Formal Deformation Theory, Lemma \ref{formal-defos-lemma-RS-implies-S1-S2}
and Remark \ref{formal-defos-remark-compose-minimal-into-iso-classes}.

\medskip\noindent
Assume $H^0(\Gamma, \text{End}_k(V)) = k$. To see that $F$
is prorepresentable it suffices to show that $F$ is a
deformation functor, see Formal Deformation Theory, Theorem
\ref{formal-defos-theorem-Schlessinger-prorepresentability}.
In other words, we have to show $F$ satisfies (RS).
For this we can use the criterion of Formal Deformation Theory, Lemma
\ref{formal-defos-lemma-RS-associated-functor}.
The required surjectivity of automorphism groups will follow if we
show that
$$
A \cdot \text{id}_M =
\text{End}_{A[\Gamma]}(M)
$$
for any object $(A, M, \rho)$ of $\mathcal{F}$ such that
$M \otimes_A k$ is isomorphic to $V$ as a representation of $\Gamma$.
Since the left hand side is contained in the right hand side,
it suffices to show
$\text{length}_A \text{End}_{A[\Gamma]}(M) \leq \text{length}_A A$.
Choose pairwise distinct ideals
$(0) = I_n \subset \ldots \subset I_1 \subset A$
with $n = \text{length}(A)$. By correspondingly filtering
$M$, we see that it suffices to prove $\Hom_{A[\Gamma]}(M, I_tM/I_{t + 1}M)$
has length $1$. Since $I_tM/I_{t + 1}M \cong M \otimes_A k$
and since any $A[\Gamma]$-module map $M \to M \otimes_A k$ factors
uniquely through the quotient map $M \to M \otimes_A k$
to give an element of
$$
\text{End}_{A[\Gamma]}(M \otimes_A k) = \text{End}_{k[\Gamma]}(V) = k
$$
we conclude.

\noindent
In Example \ref{example-continuous-representations} if $\Gamma$
is topologically finitely generated
and $(V, \rho_0)$ is a finite dimensional continuous representation of $\Gamma$
over $k$, then $\Deformationcategory_{V, \rho_0}$
admits a presentation by a smooth prorepresentable groupoid in functors
