Abstract
We study the moduli functor of flat bundles on smooth, possibly non-proper,
algebraic variety $X$ (over a field of characteristic zero). For this we
introduce the notion of formal boundary of $X$, denoted by $X$,
which is a formal analogue of the boundary at infinity of the Betti topological
space associated to $X$. We explain how to construct two derived moduli
functors $Vect^\nabla(X)$ and $Vect^\nabla(X)$, of flat bundles on
$X$ and on $X$, as well as a restriction map $R : Vect^\nabla(X)
Vect^\nabla(X)$ from the former to the later.
This work contains two main results. First we prove that the morphism R comes
equipped with a canonical shifted Lagrangian structure in the sense of PTVV.
This first result can be understood as the de Rham analogue of the existence of
Poisson structures on moduli of local systems previously studied by the
authors. As a second statement, we prove that the geometric fibers of $R$ are
representable by "quasi-algebraic spaces", a slight weakening of the notion of
algebraic spaces.
