$\infty$-operads and $E_\infty$-algebras
I work in algebraic geometry. Lately, the answer to most of my questions seems to be "you should read Lurie's Higher Algebra." I took this advice seriously, however it turned out not to be an easy ...

relative spectrum in derived algebraic geometry
I am trying to understand how much it is possible to extend the notion of spectrum of a qcoh sheaf of algebras to stacks.
More precisely, given a scheme $S$ and a stack $F$ of cohomological cdga's ...

Derived completion of complexes
Suppose $K$ is a bounded above complex of free abelian groups, and take its derived $\ell$-adic completion $K^{\wedge,\ell} = R\lim (K/\ell^n)$ in the derived category, for $\ell$ a prime.
If $K\to L$...

Is every algebraic space a 1-geometric stack?
In many references (Toen, Higher and derived stacks: a global overview, Toen, Vezzosi, Homotopical algebraic geometry II, and so on), the definition of $n$-geometric stack appears.
In the non-derived ...
