The Derived Ring of Differential Operators

Algebraic Geometry 2023-03-29 v1

Abstract

By reading a standard formula for the ring of Grothendieck differential operators in a derived way, we construct a derived (sheaf of) ring of Grothendieck differential operators for Noetherian schemes XX separated and finite-type over a base SS, when the map XSX \to S is finite tor-amplitude. Using this ring of differential operators, we (re-)develop the theory of DD-modules from scratch and show an equivalence of categories between DD-modules using our definition and crystals over the infinitesimal site.
