We define a simplicial category called the category of derived manifolds. It contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full discrete subcategory, and it is closed under taking arbitrary intersections in a manifold. A derived manifold is a space together with a sheaf of local $C^\infty$-rings that is obtained by patching together homotopy zero-sets of smooth functions on Euclidean spaces. We show that derived manifolds come equipped with a stable normal bundle and can be imbedded into…

The Weil-Kostant integrality theorem states that given a smooth manifold endowed with an integral complex closed 2-form, then there exists a line bundle with connection on this manifold with

This paper is devoted to the study of the relation between ‘formal exponential maps,’ the Atiyah class, and Kapranov L∞[1] algebras associated with dg manifolds in the C ∞ context. We prove that, for
Structured Brown representability via concordance
We establish a highly structured variant of the Brown representability theorem: given a sheaf of spaces on the site of manifolds, we show that concordance classes of sections of this sheaf over a

Manifolds without boundary, and manifolds with boundary, are universally known in Differential Geometry, but manifolds with corners (locally modelled on [0,\infty)^k x R^{n-k}) have received

We develop the theory of derived differential geometry in terms of bundles of curved $L_\infty[1]$-algebras, i.e. dg manifolds of positive amplitudes. We prove the category of derived manifolds is a

A "Chen space" is a set X equipped with a collection of "plots" - maps from convex sets to X - satisfying three simple axioms. While an individual Chen space can be much worse than a smooth manifold,
Algebraic theories in homotopy theory
It is well known in homotopy theory that given a loop space X one can always find a simplicial group G weakly equivalent to X, such that the weak equivalence can be realized by maps preserving
