We generalise the techniques of arXiv:0908.1963 to describe derived deformations in simplicial categories. This allows us to consider deformation problems with higher automorphisms, such as chain complexes (which have homotopies) and stacks…

This is an informal summary of the main concepts in arXiv:0905.4044, based on notes of various seminars. It gives constructions of higher and derived stacks without recourse to the extensive theory developed by Toen, Vezzosi and Lurie.…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a tame proper Deligne-Mumford stack of the form $[M/G]$ where $M$ is a scheme and $G$ is an algebraic group. We prove that the stack $\mathcal{K}_{g,n}(\mathcal{X},d)$ of twisted stable maps is a quotient stack and can…

We prove that every $0$-shifted Poisson structure on a derived Artin $n$-stack admits a curved $A_{\infty}$ deformation quantisation whenever the stack has perfect cotangent complex; in particular, this applies to LCI schemes, where it…

An n-truncated model structure on simplicial (pre-)sheaves is described having as weak equivalences maps that induce isomorphisms on certain homotopy sheaves only up to degree n. Starting from one of Jardine's intermediate model structures…

We study smooth higher symmetry groups and moduli $\infty$-stacks of generic higher geometric structures on manifolds. Symmetries are automorphisms which cover non-trivial diffeomorphisms of the base manifold. We construct the smooth higher…

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 $\mathbb{Z}_2$-bi-graded k-modules…

We look more closely at the higher nonabelian de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective variety or family of varieties that had been defined in some previous papers. We formalize using $n$-stacks the notion of shape underlying this…

We propose a generalization of Artin's definition of algebraic stack, which we call {\em geometric $n$-stack}. The main observation is that there is an inductive structure to the definition whereby the ingredients for the definition of…

We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…

Pridham has shown that any Artin $n$-stack $M$ has a presentation as a simplicial scheme $X$ satisfying certain smoothness properties originally introduced by Grothendieck. In the previous paper we introduced an Artin $n$-stack $M$ of…

We prove that every $0$-shifted symplectic structure on a derived Artin $n$-stack admits a curved $A_{\infty}$ deformation quantisation. The classical method of quantising smooth varieties via quantisations of affine space does not apply in…

We construct, using geometric invariant theory, a quasi-projective Deligne-Mumford stack of stable graded algebras. We also construct a derived enhancement, which classifies twisted bundles of stable graded A-infinity-algebras. The tangent…

Many key invariants in the representation theory of classical groups (symmetric groups $S_n$, matrix groups $GL_n$, $O_n$, $Sp_{2n}$) are polynomials in $n$ (e.g., dimensions of irreducible representations). This allowed Deligne to extend…

We prove that the dg category of perfect complexes on a smooth, proper Deligne-Mumford stack over a field of characteristic zero is geometric in the sense of Orlov, and in particular smooth and proper. On the level of triangulated…

We develop the theory of n-stacks (or more generally Segal n-stacks which are $\infty$-stacks such that the morphisms are invertible above degree n). This is done by systematically using the theory of closed model categories (cmc). Our main…

We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…

We define a derived enhancement of the classical quot functor of quotients associated to a coherent sheaf on a nonsingular quasiprojective variety. We prove its representability and show that it has the expected tangent complex. The derived…

In view of applications to the construction of moduli spaces of objects in algebraic supergeometry, we start a systematic study of stacks in that context. After defining a superstack as a stack over the \'etale site of superschemes, we…

The formal algebraic structures that govern higher-spin theories within the unfolded approach turn out to be related to an extension of the Kontsevich Formality, namely, the Shoikhet-Tsygan Formality. Effectively, this allows one to…
