Tangent Ind-Categories (2307.08183v1)

Abstract: In this paper we show that if $\mathscr{C}$ is a tangent category then the Ind-category $\operatorname{Ind}(\mathscr{C})$ is a tangent category as well with a tangent structure which locally looks like the tangent structure on $\mathscr{C}$. Afterwards we give a pseudolimit description of $\operatorname{Ind}(\mathscr{C}){/X}$ when $\mathscr{C}$ admits finite products, show that the $\operatorname{Ind}$-tangent category of a representable tangent category remains representable (in the sense that it has a microlinear object), and we characterize the differential bundles in $\operatorname{Ind}(\mathscr{C})$ when $\mathscr{C}$ is a Cartesian differential category. Finally we compute the $\operatorname{Ind}$-tangent category for the categories $\mathbf{CAlg}{A}$ of commutative $A$-algebras, $\mathbf{Sch}{/S}$ of schemes over a base scheme $S$, $A$-$\mathbf{Poly}$ (the Cartesian differential category of $A$-valued polynomials), and $\mathbb{R}$-$\mathbf{Smooth}$ (the Cartesian differential category of Euclidean spaces). In particular, during the computation of $\operatorname{Ind}(\mathbf{Sch}{/S})$ we give a definition of what it means to have a formal tangent scheme over a base scheme $S$.
