Abstract

We study the derived critical locus of a function f:[X/G]AK1f:[X/G]\to \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{K}}^1 on the quotient stack of a smooth affine scheme XX by the action of a smooth affine group scheme GG. It is shown that dCrit(f)[Z/G]\mathrm{dCrit}(f) \simeq [Z/G] is a derived quotient stack for a derived affine scheme ZZ, whose dg-algebra of functions is described explicitly. Our results generalize the classical BV formalism in finite dimensions from Lie algebra to group actions.
