What is the cotangent complex good for?
The cotangent complex seems to be a pretty fundamental object in algebraic geometry, but if it's treated in Hartshorne then I missed it. It seems to be even more important in derived algebraic ...

When does the cotangent complex vanish?
The question is already in the title. Less succinctly, let's call a map $f:X \to Y$ of schemes $L$-trivial if its cotangent complex is quasi-isomorphic to $0$. Such maps have striking deformation-...

Proj construction in derived algebraic geometry
The question
My question is easy to state:
Is there a Proj construction in derived geometry, that produces a derived stack from a “graded derived algebra”?
Given the vagueness of the question, you’...

Blowing up a derived scheme
Is there a sensible notion of blowing up in any of the available frameworks for derived algebraic geometry? I am happy to remain in the affine setting, where I think the right question to ask is "what ...

Explanation for Lurie's SAG Remark 25.1.3.7
I am trying to understand the theory of simplicial commutative rings or animated rings. I just find a remark in Lurie's book Spectral Algebraic Geometry:
Remark 25.3.1.7. Let $f : R[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]\...

Koszul-Tate Resolution for Subvarieties of $\mathbb P^n$
All varieties appearing below are assumed smooth projective over $\mathbb C$ and all vector bundles, sections etc are assumed to be algebraic/holomorphic. We use the word resolution to mean quasi-...

A construction of Kähler differentials and Illusie cotangent complex as colimit over embeddings
Let $\Bbbk$ be a field, $X$ affine scheme of finite type over $\Bbbk$. Let $\mathcal C_X$ be the category of closed embeddings of $X$ into (say affine) smooth $Y$'s of finite type over $\Bbbk$, ...

On a theorem of Hopkins-Neeman-Thomason on generators of thick subcategories of perfect complexes
Notations and background. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and let $D(R)$ denote the derived category of the category of R-modules. A strictly perfect complex on $R$ is a bounded complex ...

When is the cotangent complex perfect?
Let $X\rightarrow S$ be a proper flat morphism of schemes.
When is the cotangent complex $L_{X/S}$ perfect ?
It is well known, that for local complete intersections the cotangent complex is perfect, ...

What does the cotangent complex tell you when it takes animated inputs?
These two links: What is the cotangent complex good for? and Intuition about the cotangent complex? are quite helpful in giving intution for the cotangent complex in terms of deformations but I don't ...

Resolutions of semi free (or almost free) commutative dg algebras with finitely generated cohomology
Let $A^{\bullet}:=\{ \cdots \rightarrow A^i \overset{d^i}{\rightarrow} A^{i+1} \rightarrow \cdots \rightarrow A^{-1} \rightarrow A^0 \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow \cdots \}$ be a non-positively graded ...

Formally étale maps of animated $k$-algebras
In Lurie's DAG, he defines what it means for a natural transformation $T:\mathcal{F}\to\mathcal{F}'$ of functors $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{F}':\mathcal{SCR}\to\mathcal{S}$ to be formally étale. Namely, it ...
