Derived topological stacks?
I apologize for the vagueness of the following.
Informally, in the site of commutative rings, one roughly get the notion of a derived stack by swapping out the commmutative rings with its subcategory ...

Derived flat bundles
I am looking for a notion of derived flat bundles over a surface $X$. Flat vector bundles may be thought of in terms of surface representations $\pi_1(X)\rightarrow\text{GL}(V)$. Is there a notion of ...

What is the original source for the Goerss-Hopkins-Miller-Lurie theorem on tmf?
The central basic theorem of topological modular forms states that the structure sheaf of $\widehat{\mathcal{M}}_{ell}$ lifts to a sheaf of complex-oriented $E_{\infty}$-rings whose formal groups are ...

Higher-order HKR theorems?
Recall that Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg -type theorems identify certain smoothness conditions guaranteeing an isomorphism between the cotangent complex and (a shift of) the Hochschild homology of an ...

Truncated Sphere Spectra and their Modules
I'm trying to use truncations $\tau_{\leq n}S$ of the sphere spectrum to ``interpolate'' between $\DeclareMathOperator{\H}{H} \H\mathbb{Z}$ and $S$, and I am struggling to find references for ...

Applications derived algebraic geometry in Morse theory
Have derived algebraic geometry been used to understand the topology of complex varieties? For example are there any applications in Morse theory?
The reason I am asking this is two fold. First one is ...

Spectral sequences as deformation theory
I believe that running the spectral sequence of a filtered complex / spectrum $ \cdots \to F_n \to F_{n+1} \to \cdots$ can be viewed as doing deformation theory in some very primitive "derived ...

Étale homotopy type of (derived) loop space
A feature of derived algebraic geometry is that we have internal homs. Furthermore, we can think of $B\mathbb{Z}$ as the derived algebraic geometric analogue of $S^1$. Thus we have an analogue of the ...

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’...

$\infty$-operads and $E_\infty$-algebras

Cofiber of the inclusion of an $E_0$-algebra $M$ into the free $E_k$-algebra generated by it
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the $E_k$-monoidal $\infty$-category of left modules over a fixed connective $E_{k+1}$-ring spectrum $A$. Suppose that $M$ is an object of $\mathcal{C}$ which is an $E_0$-algebra, ...

Monoidal Forgetful/Free Adjunction for $E_2$-algebras
Suppose I am given two $E_2$-ring spectra $A$ and $B$ and a morphism of $E_2$-rings $\phi:A\to B$. Then I have $E_1$-monoidal categories of modules $LMod_A$ and $LMod_B$. Moreover I have morphisms $F:...

It seems to be a common wisdom in derived algebraic geometry that commutative DG-algebras are not, in general, a good model for derived rings, with the stated reason that they behave badly in positive ...

What is a simplicial commutative ring from the point of view of homotopy theory?
Let $k$ be a field. There are two natural categories to consider:
The category of simplicial commutative $k$-algebras.
The category of connective $E_\infty$ $k$-algebras (i.e., chain complexes of $...

Given a map of classifying spaces, can the target be described as a groupoid quotient of the source mod some action of some (co)kernel?
Let $H \to G$ be a homomorphism of affine algebraic groups (over characteristic $0$, if it matters). The case I care most about is when $H \to G$ is an inclusion. There is a corresponding map $f: \...

Let $A$ be an associative algebra in $dgVect_k$. Then the commutator $[\cdot,\cdot]:A\otimes A\to A$ defined by $[x,y]=xy-(-1)^{|x||y|}yx$ gives $A$ the structure of a (dg-)Lie algebra. The Maurer--...

If $A\in \mbox{Rings}\subset E_\infty\mbox{-rings}$, what is the equivalence between objects of $\mathcal{D}(\mbox{Mod}_A)$ and $A$-module spectra?
In Lurie's "A Survey of Elliptic Cohomology", he writes on page 14 that if $A$ is an ordinary commutative ring considered as an $E_\infty$-ring, then $A$-module spectra are the same thing as objects ...
