derived elliptic curve

Idea

A derived elliptic curve is an object in higher geometry that is to an E-∞ ring as an ordinary elliptic curve is to an ordinary ring.

Definition

For the notation and terminology of the following definition, see (for the time being)

Let A be an E-∞ ring. A derived elliptic curve over A is derived group scheme ESpecA with the property that the underlying morphism E¯Specπ 0A is an ordinary elliptic curve.

This is definition 4.1 in
