Abstract

Frobenius' theorem in differential geometry asserts that every involutive subbundle of the tangent bundle of a manifold MM integrates to a decomposition of MM into smooth leaves. We prove an infinitesimal analogue of this result for locally coherent qcqs schemes XX over coherent rings. More precisely, we integrate partition Lie algebroids on XX to formal moduli stacks XSX \rightarrow S where SS is the formal leaf space and the fibres of XSX \rightarrow S are the formal leaves. We deduce that deformations of XX-families of algebro-geometric objects are controlled by partition Lie algebroids on XX. Combining our integration equivalence with a result of Fu, we deduce that To\"{e}n-Vezzosi's infinitesimal derived foliations (under suitable finiteness hypotheses) are formally integrable.
