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 ...

How would you organize a cycle of seminars aimed at learning together some basics of Derived Algebraic Geometry?

This question is similar to this one because it's asking about a possible roadmap towards learning some derived algebraic geometry (DAG). But it's also different, because the goal is not to form a ...

About derived divided power envelope

Assume $A$ is a $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra with ideal $I$ and $A,A/I$ are $p$-torsionfree. In this survey, Akhil Mathew defines the derived divided power envelope $LD_I(A)$ in Construction 7.15, after ...
