Download or read book Homotopical Algebraic Geometry II: Geometric Stacks and Applications written by Bertrand Toën and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second part of a series of papers called "HAG", devoted to developing the foundations of homotopical algebraic geometry. The authors start by defining and studying generalizations of standard notions of linear algebra in an abstract monoidal model category, such as derivations, étale and smooth morphisms, flat and projective modules, etc. They then use their theory of stacks over model categories to define a general notion of geometric stack over a base symmetric monoidal model category $C$, and prove that this notion satisfies the expected properties.
