Abstract

We prove that the derived critical locus of a $G$-invariant function $S : X \to \mathbb{A}^1$ carries a shifted moment map, and that its derived symplectic reduction is the derived critical locus of the induced function $S_{red} : X/G \to \mathbb{A}^1$ on the orbit stack. We also provide a relative version of this result, and show that derived symplectic reduction commutes with derived lagrangian intersections.
