Given a representable morphisms $f:\mathcal{X}\to\mathcal{Y}$ of Artin stacks, do the fibers of $f$ have always nonnegative dimension? If not, can you give me some examples of what can happen?

  • $\begingroup$ It is not true. The identity map is a representable morphism whose fibers have dimension zero. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Yes, the fibers are algebraic spaces. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 24, 2011 at 9:07

    $\begingroup$ What is the dimension of the empty algebraic space? $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 24, 2011 at 9:35

    $\begingroup$ Good point, Torsten. The fibers have nonnegative dimension everywhere. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 24, 2011 at 12:58
