Let $G$ be a commutative algebraic group stack over $\mathbb{F}_q$ (I don't really care about the precise definition: I'm secretly thinking about the Picard stack of a projective c …

I am studying orbifolds with view towards Chen-Ruan cohomology. I have been struggling with inertia orbifolds but have no intuition about them at this point. I would appreciate you …

I will use as a reference Hartshorne Prop. II.7.14, the universal property of blow-up. $\tilde{X}$ is the blow up of $X$ along a sheaf of ideals. $Z\to X$ is the morphism that is t …

Hi! I am stuck with the following question: suppose we have a semisimple connected algebraic group acting on a quasi-affine variety X by closed orbits, and suppose that inertia i …

I am learning the moduli stacks of vector bundles and have trouble understanding some definitions. Let $E$ be a rank $n$ vector bundle over the scheme $X$. We denote by $p_i$ the $ …

Let $X$ be a connected projective scheme. Let $U$ be a finite type open substack of the algebraic stack of coherent sheaves on $X$ with a fixed Hilbert polynomial. Can one take $p> …

I am reading the book "mirror symmetry" by Hori,Katz,Klemm,etc. And I want to understand the following Deformation long exact sequence \begin{align} 0 & \to Aut(Σ, p_1, . . . …

Fix a ground scheme $S$ (a field say). By atlas for an algebraic stack I mean a smooth and surjective morphism $Y \to X$ from a scheme (or algebraic space or affine scheme) $Y$. If …

I am reading the chapter "Introducing Algebraic Stacks" in The Stacks Projects to get a feeling for them. There is a small point that throws me off. They denote $\mathcal{M}_{1, 1 …

Corollaire 3.13 in "Champs algebriques" says that the diagonal 1-morphism of stacks $\Delta:\mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{X} \times_S \mathcal{X}$ is representable if and only if the sh …

I've been reading this really nice paper by Alper http://math.columbia.edu/~jarod/good_moduli_spaces.pdf, and there's a question that doesn't seem to be answered (perhaps it's not …

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a smooth projective toric Deligne-Mumford stack with coarse moduli scheme $\pi\colon \mathcal{X}\rightarrow X.$ Let $[D]$ be a Cartier divisor on $\mathcal{X} …

I have "generic" questions about Fourier-Mukai transforms. Question 1: Does there exist a well-defined notion of Fourier-Mukai transform on (Deligne-Mumford) stacks? Question 2: …
