A Mapping Theorem for Derived Foliations

Algebraic Geometry 2025-11-07 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we construct in characteristic zero a derived foliation on derived mapping stacks MapS(X,Y)\underline{\mathbf{Map}}_S(X,Y), for SS a base derived stack, XX a proper schematic, flat, and local complete intersection derived stack over SS, and YY a relative derived Deligne-Mumford stack over SS, when YY is equipped with a derived foliation relative to SS. In the process, given a relative derived Deligne-Mumford stack ZZ over a derived stack XX, we will first show that the \infty-category of derived foliations over ZZ relative to XX embeds as a full subcategory of derived stacks over ZZ equipped with extra structure, and describe its essential image explicitly. We will then show that given a proper schematic, flat, and local complete intersection map of derived stacks f:XYf : X \to Y, the push-forward functor ff_* from derived stacks over XX to derived stacks over YY preserves the preceding essential images, and thus defines a push-forward, from derived foliations over ZZ relative to XX, to derived foliations over fZf_* Z relative to YY. The aforementioned result on derived mapping stacks is obtained as a special case of this statement. As example applications, given a smooth projective scheme XX equipped with a derived folation, we obtain derived folations on the derived moduli stacks RMg,n(X)\mathbb R \overline{\mathbf M}_{g,n}(X) and RHilblci(X)\mathbb R \mathbf{Hilb}^{lci}(X), which are respectively the derived enhancements of the moduli stack of families of stable curves of genus gg with nn marked points on XX, and of the Hilbert scheme of closed subschemes of XX.
