Derived differentiable stacks.
Abstract:
We will look at a simplified definition of derived differentiable stacks (using derived cartesian spaces).
Just like the last time, several easy-to-write open problems will be communicated.

Algebraic structures on derived critical loci.
Abstract:
We will examine a simplified definition of differential forms in the setting of derived differentiable stacks.
We will then relate it to the usual definition by Ben Zvi and Nadler.
Finally, we will apply these ideas to define algebraic structures on
derived critical loci, such as the shifted symplectic structures of Pantev–Toën–Vaquié–Vezzosi.
I will in part follow a recent paper by Vezzosi
“Basic structures on derived critical loci”,
except that our basic setup is differential geometry, not algebraic geometry.

Maurer-Cartan stacks for exceptional generalized geometry, Part I.
Abstract: In this talk we lay down the groundwork for studying geometric structures on Leibniz algebroids which generalize known integrability conditions of the classical twisted Courant bracket, the setting for Dirac structures.
We explain 11-dimensional supergravity as a Leibniz algebroid constructed solely out of natural operations on a generalized tangent bundle, with a bracket twisted by de Rham cohomology classes defined by auxiliary fields satisfying Bianchi-type identities.
This is the type of geometric structure we care to study in a derived context by means of Maurer-Cartan stacks controlling higher derived brackets twisted by arbitrary natural operations on a generalized tangent complex.

and differential graded Lie algebras.

Synthetic differential geometry, tangent categories, and Goodwillie calculus
We studied SDG in the Winter Seminar,
we could study it more and establish some connections to Goodwillie calculus.
A worthy goal would be to understand the recent remarkable paper
by Bauer, Burke, Ching (see below), which makes rigorous the connection between
differential calculus and Goodwillie calculus.
