Is this double quotient of $\operatorname{SL}_2$ representable by an algebraic space or a scheme?

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup (upper triangular matrices), and let $\Gamma := \langle \sigma\rangle$ be the group generated by a (hyperbolic) element of $\SL_2/\mathbb{Q}_p$ ...

Is this functor $\mathcal{F}: \text{Sch}/\mathbb{Q}\longrightarrow \text{Sets}$ a sheaf?

Consider the functor $\mathcal{F}: \text{Sch}/\mathbb{Q}\longrightarrow \text{Sets}$, defined by sending a scheme $X$ with coordinate ring $\mathcal{O}(X)$ to the set of orbits $B(\mathcal{O}(X))\...

The stack $\operatorname{GL}_2/B$

Let $F$ be the functor from the category of affinoid Tate algebras over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ to the category $\mathrm{Sets}$, which maps an affinoid $\operatorname{Spm} R$ to the set of orbits $\...

Quotient of a sheaf by group action and representabillity

Let $X$ be a scheme and $S$ be a sheaf of sets over the fppf topology of $X$. Let $G$ be a group scheme over $X$ and there is an action of $G$ on $S$. Now, I want to look at the quotient $G \setminus ...

Two functorial definitions of schemes

I have been reading a bit about the "functor of points" theory for schemes. There seem to be two ways of going about defining schemes this way: Equip the category $\textbf {Psh}=\operatorname{Fun}(\...

restriction and pullback of representable etale sheaf along closed immersion

I find that the restriction and pullback of representable etale sheaf along closed immersion are very confusing. I think they are different in general, I hope some experts can confirm my understanding ...

Sheaf condition and representability in the category Top

This is a rather nice question I got from this user via private communication. Let $\mathcal{C} = Top$ the category of topological spaces. Let $\mathcal{C}^\prime$ be the category $Funct(\mathcal{C}^{...

Do quotients of representable sheaves represent quotients?

Here's the context for the question: Proposition 4.6 of Freitag and Kiehl's book on etale cohomology shows that a sheaf (of sets) $\mathcal{F}$ (on the site Et(X)) is constructible if and only if it ...
