Abstract

If MM is a symplectic manifold then the space of smooth loops C(S1,M)\mathrm C^{\infty}(\mathrm S^1,M) inherits of a quasi-symplectic form. We will focus in this thesis on an algebraic analogue of that result. Kapranov and Vasserot introduced and studied the formal loop space of a scheme XX. It is an algebraic version of the space of smooth loops in a differentiable manifold. We generalize their construction to higher dimensional loops. To any scheme XX -- not necessarily smooth -- we associate Ld(X)\mathcal L^d(X), the space of loops of dimension dd. We prove it has a structure of (derived) Tate scheme -- ie its tangent is a Tate module: it is infinite dimensional but behaves nicely enough regarding duality. We also define the bubble space Bd(X)\mathcal B^d(X), a variation of the loop space. We prove that Bd(X)\mathcal B^d(X) is endowed with a natural symplectic form as soon as XX has one. To prove our results, we develop a theory of Tate objects in a stable (,1)(\infty,1)-category C\mathcal C. We also prove that the non-connective K-theory of Tate(C)\mathbf{Tate}(\mathcal C) is the suspension of that of C\mathcal C. The last chapter is aimed at a different problem: we study there the existence of a Lie structure on the tangent of a derived Artin stack. This in particular applies to not necessarily smooth schemes. Throughout this thesis, we will use the tools of (,1)(\infty,1)-categories and symplectic derived algebraic geometry.
