Let $X$ be an algebaic stack over a scheme $S$, for any $S$-scheme $Y$ we can consider the groupoid $X(Y)$ of $Y$-points. Denote by $\pi_0(X(Y))$ the set of isomorphism classes of the groupoid.

Are there known results that tell us anything about the finitness of $\pi_0(X(Y))$?

To explain what I have in mind, if $X$ is a zero dimensional scheme of finite type over a field $k$, then $\pi_0(X(k))$ is $X(k)$ itself and it is finite.

    $\begingroup$ isn't that just the coarse moduli scheme/space? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @oxeimon: Typically not, since it is typically not a sheaf. To get a coarse moduli space in this way you (at the very least) have to sheafify it. bananastack's link says more in this direction. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ oxeimon was referring to the previous form of my question, were I mention the sheafification. However after bananastack's comment, I decided to focus the question only on the finitness part as the answer in the link already dealt with the other part. $\endgroup$
