Does "derived" make anything constant in non-flat families?
This is an extremely basic (and surely amateurish) question that might be about derived geometry.
In usual algebraic geometry, if we have a flat projective morphism $f:X \to S$ with $S$ integral, and ...

Derived algebraic geometry: how to reach research level math?
I know the question "how to study math" has been asked dozens of times before in many variations, but (I hope) this one is different.
My goal is to study derived algebraic geometry, where derived ...

Why do people say DG-algebras behave badly in positive characteristic?
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 ...

Which properties of a variety are detected by its derived category of coherent sheaves?
Context: I'm giving an informal seminar/reading group collection of talks on derived categories, following on from earlier talks giving the abstract definition. I am starting to talk about $\mathcal{...
