We propose a derived version of non-archimedean analytic geometry. Intuitively, a derived non-archimedean analytic space consists of an ordinary non-archimedean analytic space equipped with a sheaf of derived rings. Such a naive definition turns out to be insufficient. In this paper, we resort to the theory of pregeometries and structured topoi introduced by Jacob Lurie. We prove the following three fundamental properties of derived non-archimedean analytic spaces: (1) The category of ordinary non-archimedean analytic spaces embeds fully faithfully into the ∞-category of derived non-archimedean analytic spaces. (2) The ∞-category of derived non-archimedean analytic spaces admits fiber products. (3) The ∞-category of higher non-archimedean analytic Deligne-Mumford stacks embeds fully faithfully into the ∞-category of derived non-archimedean analytic spaces. The essential image of this embedding is spanned by n-localic discrete derived non-archimedean analytic spaces. We will further develop the theory of derived non-archimedean analytic geometry in our subsequent works. Our motivations mainly come from intersection theory, enumerative geometry and mirror symmetry.

We introduce a quantum trace map for an ideally triangulated hyperbolic knot complement S^3∖K. The map assigns a quantum operator to each element of Kauffmann Skein module of the 3-manifold. The quantum operator lives in a module generated by products of quantized edge parameters of the ideal triangulation modulo some equivalence relations determined by gluing equations. Combining the quantum map with a state-integral model of SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory, one can define perturbative invariants of knot K in the knot complement whose leading part is determined by its complex hyperbolic length. We then conjecture that the perturbative invariants determine an asymptotic expansion of the Jones polynomial for a link composed of K and K. We propose the explicit quantum trace map for figure-eight knot complement and confirm the length conjecture up to the second order in the asymptotic expansion both numerically and analytically.
