Title

Cotangent complexes of derived jet and arc spaces

Abstract

Motivated by studying the birational geometry of the jet and arc schemes of a scheme X, de Fernex and Docampo (2020) described the cotangent sheaf of the jets and arcs in terms of the cotangent sheaf of X. Our work (joint with Roi Docampo and Lance Edward Miller) asks a subsequent question: how may one describe the cotangent complexes? To produce an analogous version of their theorem, one must produce a derived/animated version of the jets and arcs. We define such a construction, discuss properties, and then describe the animated version of their theorem and its consequences.
