Supersymmetric Derived Stacks

Abstract

Stacks have become a prevalent tool in studying problems with connections to String Theory, hence we see a need to develop a theory of supersymmetric stacks proper. We first define derived stacks on Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-bi-graded k-modules (objects of sk-sMod_*) following the exposition of Toen and Vezzosi on ungraded modules in HAG I & II. We then define Top\text{Top}_{* \centerdot}-valued maps on those supermodules (Top\text{Top}_{* \centerdot} Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-bi-graded), and show how they behave under supersymmetry transformations in the base. For Ψ:MX\Psi: M \rightarrow X one such map, MM \in sk-sMod_*, XTopX \in \text{Top}_{* \centerdot}, we argue that defining a prestack FF of simplicial sets over simplicial graded k-superalgebras object-wise by F(M)={Ψ(σ,θ)σ,θM}F(M) = \{\Psi(\sigma, \theta) | \sigma, \theta \in M \} with the induced topology, one can call FF a supersymmetric stack if it is a derived stack.

62 pages. A bi-grading is introduced to formalize the concept of working with objects without taking their parity into consideration. Modifications are made throughout. The braiding on the box product is fixed, proof of Prop. 2.3.4.3 simplified, discussion after Prop. 2.3.4.4 omitted since it is not used
