Motivation for definition of Quotient stack

I am reading "Some notes on Differentiable stacks" by J. Heinloth. In that paper, the notion of quotient stack is defined as follows. Let $G$ be a Lie group action on a manifold $X$ (left ...

Diagonal is representable then any morphism is representable

Ariyan Javanpeykar said here in comments that, If the diagonal is representable, then isn't any morphism $S\rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ with $S$ a scheme representable? I could not find the statement (...

Fibered product of stacks comes from a Lie groupoid

I am adding some context here. I am reading Introduction to Differentiable Stacks by Gregory Ginot. In page no $7$, just before the remark $2.2$ he says the following. One shall be careful that ...

Stacks over diffeologies

Konrad Waldorf shows in his paper one may realize a Grothendieck topology on the category of diffeological spaces. Is there any work exploring stacks over the category of diffeologies?

Intrinsic Characterization of when an orbifold (or more general stack) is effective?

Recall that an orbifold is an etale and proper differentiable stack $X$. Etale means that it admits an etale atlas $M \to X$ from a manifold $M$ (which is to say it is represented by an etale Lie ...

Composition of bibundles

I am reading Orbifolds as stacks? Given Lie groupoids $\mathcal{G}$ and $\mathcal{H}$ there is a notion of what is called a bibundle from $\mathcal{G}$ to $\mathcal{H}$ which is supposed to be a ...
