Derived geometry can be defined as the universal way to adjoin finite homotopical limits to a given category of manifolds compatibly with products and glueing. The point of this paper is to show that a construction closely resembling existing approaches to derived geometry in fact produces a geometry with this universal property. I also investigate consequences of this definition in particular in the differentiable setting, and compare the theory so obtained to D. Spivak's axioms for derived C…

An alternative to hypercovers
I introduce a class of diagrams in a Grothendieck site called "atlases" which can be used to study hyperdescent, and show that hypersheaves take atlases to limits using an indexed `nerve'…
On the Universal Property of Derived Manifolds
It is well known that any model for derived manifolds must form a higher category. In this paper, we propose a universal property for this higher category, classifying it up to equivalence. Namely,…

A model structure is defined on the category of derived differentiable schemes, and it is used to analyse the truncation 2-functor from derived manifolds to d-manifolds. It is proved that the induced…
