Jun 21, 2011 at 10:41 comment added Daniel Bergh Mike, I assume that you still mean that $G$ acts trivially on $X$, since $[Y/G]$ isn't defined unless $Y$ is $G$-invariant.

Jun 20, 2011 at 23:24 comment added Mike Skirvin Supplementing shenghao's comment, you can show that for any quotient stack $X/G$, the open and closed substacks of $X/G$ are in bijection with the open and closed subschemes of $X$ (i.e., they're all of the form $Y/G$ for Y open or closed in $X$).
Jun 20, 2011 at 21:37 comment added shenghao I guess $[X/G]$ is always irreducible, as long as $X$ is (namely one doesn't even need to assume the $G$ action is trivial). If $[X/G]$ is the union of two proper closed substacks, or equivalently, there exist two nonempty open substacks that do not meet, then their inverse images in $X$ do not meet, too, contradicting the assumption.
