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 ...

How can we construct a derived scheme as a gluing of derived schemes?

More precisely, consider a Segal groupoid $X_*$ in an infinity category of derived schemes : dSch In Toen's note, 'Derived Algebraic Geometry', he defines a 1-Artin stacks as a homotopy colimits of ...

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 ...
