André and Quillen both gave constructions of the relative cotangent complex for commutative rings, so pretty immediately that gives us that we understand the cotangent complex for affine schemes. Illusie generalized the cotangent complex construction from "rings over A" for a ring A to "rings over $\mathcal{O}_X$" for a base ring object of an arbitrary Grothendieck topos. At least for ordinary schemes, it doesn't seem too hard to believe that we could glue together relative cotangent complexes along affine opens, but for things like algebraic...Read more
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, $A$ a simplicial commutative k-algebra, and $M$ a simplicial $A$-module. Consider the trivial square-zero extension $A\oplus M$ as an $A$-algebra.Is it true that the relative cotangent complex of $A\oplus M$ over $A$ (i.e the cotangent complex of the map $A \rightarrow A\oplus M$) is isomorphic to $M$ (say in the derived category of $A$-modules) ?This might be easy but thanks anyway for any suggestion or reference....Read more
