Abstract

We prove an equivariant localization theorem over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero for smooth quotient stacks by reductive groups X/GX/G in the setting of derived loop spaces as well as Hochschild homology and its cyclic variants. We show that the derived loop spaces of the stack X/GX/G and its classical zz-fixed point stack π0(Xz)/Gz\pi_0(X^z)/G^z become equivalent after completion along a semisimple parameter [z]G//G[z] \in G//G, implying the analogous statement for Hochschild and cyclic homology of the dg category of perfect complexes Perf(X/G)\text{Perf}(X/G). We then prove an analogue of the Atiyah-Segal completion theorem in the setting of periodic cyclic homology, where the completion of the periodic cyclic homology of Perf(X/G)\text{Perf}(X/G) at the identity [e]G//G[e] \in G//G is identified with a 2-periodic version of the derived de Rham cohomology of X/GX/G. Together, these results identify the completed periodic cyclic homology of a stack X/GX/G over a parameter [z]G//G[z] \in G//G with the 2-periodic derived de Rham cohomology of its zz-fixed points.
