Derived graded modules

TL;DR
The paper develops an ∞-categorical framework for derived graded modules over a $G$-graded ring $R$ with torsion-free $G$, introducing the ∞-category $\mathcal{D}_{G\mathrm{-gr}}(R)$ and its graded-complete subcategory. It establishes foundational properties, including a fiber-product description of mapping spaces, a graded Milnor exact sequence, and a derived gradedwise completion with Nakayama-type results, and it proves a Barr–Beck–Lurie comonadic equivalence between complete derived graded modules and derived (formal) comodules over a comonad built from the coalgebra $R[G]$. The main result links graded modules to comodules via a comonadic functor $\mathcal{F}^I$, yielding an equivalence $\mathcal{D}_{G\mathrm{-gr}}^{I\mathrm{-comp}}(R) \simeq \mathop{coMod}_{G}^{I\mathrm{-comp}}(R)$, and thus provides a robust, structured bridge between graded homological algebra and coalgebra comodule theory in the derived setting. This framework has potential implications for algebraic geometry and representation theory where nontrivial grading and derived completions interact with coaction and comodules.
Abstract
We introduce the notion of the $\infty$-category of (complete) derived $G$-graded modules over a $G$-graded ring $R$ for a torsion-free abelian group $G$, and we study its foundational properties. Moreover, we prove a categorical equivalence between (complete) derived $G$-graded modules over $R$ and derived (formal) comodules over a certain comonad constructed from the group ring $R[G]$ of $G$ over $R$.
