In [PRID], Pridham has shown that any Artin n-stack M has a presentation as a simplicial scheme X. → M such that the simplicial scheme X satisfies certain properties denoted G.Pn,k of [GROTH]. In the presentation (…→ X2 → X1 → X0 → M), the scheme X1 represents a chart for X0 x MX0. Thus, the smoothness of X0 → M is equivalent to the smoothness of the two projections ә0,ә1 : X1 → X0. These are the first two parts of the Grothendieck-Pridham condition, denoted G.P1,0 and G.P1,1. In [BENZ12] we introduced an Artin n-stack M of Maurer-Cartan elements of a dg-category. We constructed a chart, and have already proven the first smoothness conditions explicitly. For any n and any 0 ≤ k ≤ n Pridham considers a scheme denoted MatchΛkn(X) with a morphism Xn → MatchΛkn(X). We will construct explicitly the Grothendieck-Pridham simplicial scheme and show the smoothness of the preceding map, therefore M is a geometric n-stack.
