Infinite suspension is cotangent complex

In Higher Algebra by Lurie, we define the absolute cotangent complex $L_{A}$ through the composition $C\stackrel{\triangle}{\longrightarrow} Fun(\triangle^{1},C)\stackrel{F}{\longrightarrow}T_{C}$ ...

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 ...

Monoidal colimit-preserving functor from spaces to $A$-modules

I am reading Lurie's Elliptic Cohomology II and it claims (Section 4.1.3) that for an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring $A$ "there is an essentially unique symmetric monoidal functor $\mathcal{S} \to \...

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 ...

Why does elliptic cohomology fail to be unique up to contractible choice?

It is often stated that the derived moduli stack of oriented elliptic curves $\mathsf{M}^\mathrm{or}_\mathrm{ell}$ is the unique lift of the classical moduli stack of elliptic curves satisfying some ...

When does QCoh have 'enough perfect complexes'?

Let $X$ be a derived fpqc stack on the $\infty$-category of connective spectral affine schemes $\mathbf{Aff}^{\mathrm{cn}}=(\mathbf{Ring}^{\mathrm{cn}}_{E_\infty})^{\mathrm{op}}$, that is to say, a ...

Motivation and potential applications of spectral algebraic geometry

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about derived algebraic geometry, but not so much about the related subject of spectral algebraic geometry. Now I'm curious what future is there for spectral algebraic ...

Integral transform on noncommutative spaces

In their paper "Integral Transforms and Drinfeld Centers in Derived Algebraic Geometry" the authors show that for perfect stacks $X$ and $Y$ over $k$, and their $k$-linear $\infty$-categories of ...

What is an infinite prime in algebraic topology?

The links between algebraic topology (stable homotopy theory in particular) and number theory are nowadays abundant and fruitful. In one direction, there is chromatic homotopy theory, exploiting the ...

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 $...
