Derived hyperquot schemes

We define a derived enhancement of the hyperquot scheme (also known as nested Quot scheme), which classically parametrises flags of quotients of a perfect coherent sheaf on a projective scheme. We prove it is representable by a derived scheme, and we compute its global tangent complex. As an application, we provide a natural obstruction theory on the classical hyperquot scheme. The latter recovers the virtual fundamental class recently constructed by the first and third author in the context of the enumerative geometry of hyperquot schemes on smooth projective curves.
