In this paper we develop methods for classifying Baker, Richter, and Szymik's Azumaya algebras over a commutative ring spectrum, especially in the largely inaccessible case where the ring is nonconnective. We give obstruction-theoretic tools, constructing and classifying these algebras and their automorphisms with Goerss–Hopkins obstruction theory, and give descent-theoretic tools, applying Lurie's work on $\infty$ -categories to show that a finite Galois extension of rings in the sense of Rognes becomes a homotopy fixed-point equivalence on Brauer spaces. For even-periodic ring spectra $E$ , we find that the ‘algebraic’ Azumaya algebras whose coefficient ring is projective are governed by the Brauer–Wall group of $\pi _0(E)$ , recovering a result of Baker, Richter, and Szymik. This allows us to calculate many examples. For example, we find that the algebraic Azumaya algebras over Lubin–Tate spectra have either four or two Morita equivalence classes, depending on whether the prime is odd or even, that all algebraic Azumaya algebras over the complex K-theory spectrum $KU$ are Morita trivial, and that the group of the Morita classes of algebraic Azumaya algebras over the localization $KU[1/2]$ is $\mathbb {Z}/8\times \mathbb {Z}/2$ . Using our descent results and an obstruction theory spectral sequence, we also study Azumaya algebras over the real K-theory spectrum $KO$ which become Morita-trivial $KU$ -algebras. We show that there exist exactly two Morita equivalence classes of these. The nontrivial Morita equivalence class is realized by an ‘exotic’ $KO$ -algebra with the same coefficient ring as $\mathrm {End}_{KO}(KU)$ . This requires a careful analysis of what happens in the homotopy fixed-point spectral sequence for the Picard space of $KU$ , previously studied by Mathew and Stojanoska.

AbstractThe cotangent complex of a map of commutative rings is a central object in deformation theory. Since the 1990s, it has been generalized to the homotopical setting of $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -ring spectra in various ways. In this work we first establish, in the context of $$\infty $$ ∞ -categories and using Goodwillie’s calculus of functors, that various definitions of the cotangent complex of a map of $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -ring spectra that exist in the literature are equivalent. We then turn our attention to a specific example. Let R be an $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -ring spectrum and $$\mathrm {Pic}(R)$$ Pic ( R ) denote its Picard $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -group. Let Mf denote the Thom $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -R-algebra of a map of $$E_\infty $$ E ∞ -groups $$f:G\rightarrow \mathrm {Pic}(R)$$ f : G → Pic ( R ) ; examples of Mf are given by various flavors of cobordism spectra. We prove that the cotangent complex of $$R\rightarrow Mf$$ R → M f is equivalent to the smash product of Mf and the connective spectrum associated to G.

In order to treat multiplicative phenomena in twisted (co)homology, we introduce a new point-set-level framework for parametrized homotopy theory. We provide a convolution smash product that descends to the corresponding $\infty$ -categorical product and allows for convenient constructions of commutative parametrized ring spectra. As an immediate application, we compare various models for generalized Thom spectra. In a companion paper, this approach is used to compare homotopical and operator algebraic models for twisted $K$ -theory.
