Let YY be a quasi-smooth derived scheme or stack, and let Sing⁡(Y)\operatorname{Sing}(Y) be its classical scheme of singularities. The singular support of a coherent complex F\mathcal F is a closed conical subset

SS⁡(F)⊆Sing⁡(Y)\operatorname{SS}(\mathcal F)\subseteq\operatorname{Sing}(Y)

defined by the action of cohomological operators associated with the derived normal directions of YY.

For a conical closed subset Z⊆Sing⁡(Y)Z\subseteq\operatorname{Sing}(Y), the full subcategory IndCoh⁡Z(Y)\operatorname{IndCoh}_Z(Y) consists of whose singular support is contained in ZZ.

This derived-algebraic notion is distinct from the singular support of a distribution or the microsupport of a constructible sheaf.
