In a context of differential cohesion, with infinitesimal shape modality , then for every object its infinitesimal disk bundle is the bundle over whose fiber over a point is the infinitesimal neighbourhood of that point, fomalized as the homotopy fiber at this point of the unit of the infinitesimal shape modality on .
The collection of these fiber hence forms the homotopy fiber product
of the component of the unit of the infinitesimal shape modality with itself.
Conversely, by the pasting law, the fibers of over global points of are indeed the infinitesimal disks around these points.
Evidently is the first stage in the Cech nerve of , hence the object of morphisms of the groupoid object corresponding to this effective epimorphism. By the discussion at Lie algebroid – General abstract definition this is an infinity-Lie algebroid, namely the (possibly higher jet order) tangent Lie algebroid of .
More generally, for a bundle over , then , sitting in the pasting composite of pullbacks
Stated more abstractly, this means that forming infinitesimal disk bundles is the monad
induced by the adjoint triple of base change along
In the standard models of differential cohesion (such as for formal smooth infinity-groupoids), is the standard de Rham stack of obtained by identifying infinitesimal neighbours, and so then is the formal neighbourhood of the diagonal of , in the traditional sense. Indeed, in these standard models is a 1-epimorphism, hence effective, and so on 0-truncated the above pullback equivalently equibits the de Rham stack for 0-truncated as the coequalizer of the two projections out of the formal neighbourhood of the diagoal, which is the traditional definition of .
The tangent complex of a derived algebraic stack is equivalently the (sheaf of modules of) sections of the formal neighbourhood of the diagonal of (Hennion 13). Hence by the above one may generally think of (sections of) as being the tangent complex of .
The infinitesimal disk bundle construction is the left adjoint monad to the jet comonad
The underlying adjunction has been observed in Kock 1980, prop. 2.2, in the context of synthetic differential geometry .
In terms of differential cohesion this pair of adjoint monads is seen in Khavkine & Schreiber 2017, p. 23 as the adjoint pair induced by the base change adjoint triple:
For a -manifold, then its infinitesimal disk bundle is a fiber bundle (fiber infinity-bundle) with typical fiber . This is the associated bundle (associated infinity-bundle) to the frame bundle (or more generally of the higher order frame bundle when encodes higher order infinitesimal thickening).
