The non-existence of the fine moduli scheme of vector bundles. Why?

The reference I am using is Hoffmann - The moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve. The question is about the moduli space of vector bundles. I am trying to understand why the fine moduli scheme ...

Concrete reasons to study derived categories of quasi-coherent sheaves on algebraic stacks?

Title says it all. There seems to be a lot of work done on derived categories of quasi-coherent sheaves on stacks, and yet I couldn't find many "external" applications. I'm mainly wondering ...

Representability of stack of finite maps between curves

I am interested in the following moduli problem: The moduli functor $\mathcal{F}$ has $T$-points: a nodal $n$-pointed curve $C/T$ of genus $g$. a nodal $b$-pointed curve $D/T$ of genus $h$. a finite ...

Compactifications of product of universal elliptic curves

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the universal elliptic curve over the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of elliptic curves. As $\mathcal{E}$ is an abelian group scheme over $\mathcal{M}$, we obtain a product-preserving ...

Moduli stack of l-adic sheaves?

Let us work over a field $k$. Then for any smooth affine group scheme $G$ over $k$, we can consider the stack quotient $BG := [\text{pt} / G]$ which classifies étale $G$-torsors. Let $\ell$ be a prime ...

Cartesian square in the category of Algebraic stacks

Suppose we have a commutative diagram of Artin stacks $ \newcommand{\ra}[1]{\kern-1.5ex\xrightarrow{\ \ #1\ \ }\phantom{}\kern-1.5ex} \newcommand{\ras}[1]{\kern-1.5ex\xrightarrow{\ \ \smash{#1}\ \ }\...

Moduli of morphisms between varieties

Let $\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N}$ be two "well-behaved" (i.e. representable by an algebraic stack parametrising flat, proper, surjective, finitely presented morphisms with geometric fibres ...

Semistable curves of genus $g\geq 2$ form an Artin algebraic stack in the etale topology?

I need the reference to a detailed proof the following fact. Let $g\geq 2$ be an integer. Let $\mathcal M^{ss}_g: Sch\rightarrow Groupoids$ be the prestack which sends a scheme $T$ to the groupoid of ...

Moduli stack of quiver representations

Let $Q$ be a finite quiver. As far as I know there's a great amount of work concerning the so-called quiver varieties one can associate to it. Loosely speaking, these are obtained by taking GIT ...

Stacky proof of no elliptic curves over Z

It is a well known result that there are no Elliptic curves over the integers with every where good reduction. In fact this is even true for abelian varieties (and hence higher genus curves) but let ...

Stacks in moduli spaces of sheaves research

I want to get some practice and build more appreciation for the use of stacks in the context of classical moduli spaces of sheaves. Here by classical I vaguely mean hands-on description of the ...

Is the stack of stable curves with no rational component algebraic?

Let $g\geq 2$ be an integer and let $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g$ be the (smooth proper Deligne-Mumford) algebraic stack of stable curves of genus $g$. Let $\mathcal{M}_g^{nr}$ be the substack of ...

Tangent and cotangent bundle of a smooth algebraic stack

Are there any good notion of tangent and cotangent bundle (and stacks) of a smooth algebraic stack, similar to the notion of tangent and cotangent bundles (and spaces) of smooth schemes? I am ...

moduli stack of double covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with one marked point

I am trying to improve my moderate knowledge of moduli spaces/stacks by examining the moduli stack of stable double covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with one marked point. My idea is to ignore the stack ...

Soft question: beginners reference to moduli spaces

What is a geometrically intuitive yet reasonably general first introduction to the theory of Moduli spaces? (Possibly introducing stacks also)? I'm looking for something which really gets the pictures ...

Is the analytification of the coarse space equal to the coarse moduli space of the analytification?

If $X$ is a smooth finite type separated DM algebraic stack over $\mathbb C$ with coarse space $X^c$, then do we know whether the analytification of $X^c$ is the coarse space of the analytification of ...

Are there any results on stable maps to Artin stacks with infinite stabilizers?

The Abramovich-Vistoli/Chen-Ruan theory of twisted stable maps into Deligne-Mumford stacks is extremely useful, as is the generalization to tame Artin stacks in positive characteristic. I am ...
