Oct 16, 2009 at 16:53 comment added Ben Webster Of course, the other answer might be that Scott and I are a bit off. Though I tend to think of gerbes as "the land where deformations that shouldn't exist live" as in obstructed defomrations really exist if you're willing to think of them as objects over the gerbe corresponding to their obstruction class. Though, maybe that's wrong.
Oct 16, 2009 at 16:30 comment added Anton Geraschenko That sounds very reasonable, but why couldn't BG deform to a gerbe, which is some kind of a twist of a BG that only has a point locally? The answer is probably, "go learn more about gerbes."
