In a previous talk we described how equivariant localization arises in the classification of irreducible representations of the affine Hecke algebra. In this talk, we will introduce the notion of a derived loop space of a quotient stack and compute some toy examples, comparing algebraic K-theory and Hochschild homology. We then state and sketch the argument of an equivariant localization result.
