Semi-Perfect Obstruction theory and DT Invariants of Derived Objects [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
We introduce semi-perfect obstruction theory of a Deligne-Mumford stack $X$ consisting of local perfect obstruction theories with weak comparisons on overlaps. We show that semi-perfect obstruction theory shares similar properties with perfect obstruction theory.
