Apr 12, 2017 at 23:24 comment added Artur Jackson It is also totally fine to think of BG as simplicial object (manifold, scheme, etc). Very easy to convert from this to the stack (functor taking values in groupoids): consider it's functor of points (taking values in simplicial sets) and take the 1-truncation of this.
Oct 25, 2016 at 18:07 comment added Qiaochu Yuan @Daniel: $BG$ is a stack; its functor of points sends a thing (smooth manifold, variety, scheme, whatever) to the groupoid of $G$-bundles on the thing. It can be presented by a simplicial thing, if you like.
Oct 25, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Daniel Barter I like this but I want to understand the third paragraph better. Here is a question: Should I be thinking about BG as a simplicial manifold?
