Check that a Sheaf is Invertible Etale Locally
A question about following statement from Martin Olsson's book on Stacks. In the proof of Proposition 13.2.9. (p 269) is claimed that certain sheaf $K$ on a nodal curve $C$ is invertible it suffice to ...

Category of sheaves of vector spaces on BG
Let $G$ be an affine group scheme over $\mathbb{C}$. I am interested in understanding the differences between different notions of sheaves on the stack $pt/G = BG$. For any algebraic stack $X$ one can ...

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 $\...

Sheafification of presheaf of trivial vector bundles is the stack of vector bundles
This is a deliberately vague question, possibly obvious to experts. Let $F$ be a field. Over the (say, fpqc) site of $F$-schemes, we may define a presheaf $T^{\textrm{pre}}$ that takes a scheme $S$ ...

Torsors for nonabelian groups and maps to contracted products
$\newcommand\op{\mathrm{op}}$My question concerns torsors for a sheaf of groups $G$ that is not commutative, and left/right are messing me up. A left $G$-torsor is equivalent to a right $G^{\op}$-...

Definition of the cotangent complexes of Artin stacks
I am studying the notion of the cotangent complexes of Artin stacks reading LMB's book and Olsson's paper. According to them, the cotangent complexes are defined as projective systems in their derived ...

Local question and descent category for a quasi-coherent sheaf on $\mathbb{G}_m$-gerbe
Update: I removed what I thought was unecessary and tried to be more straightforward in the hope to get an answer.
Context:
Suppose I have a $\mathbb{G}_m$-gerbe $\mathcal{G}$ over a scheme $X$ with ...

Etale sheaves on algebraic spaces vs. Etale sheaves on affines
Let's fix a field $k$. First, consider $Aff_k$ to be the category of affine finite type $k$ schemes. On this category, one can define the etale topology and thus consider the site $Aff_k^{et}$, then ...

How is a Stack the generalisation of a sheaf from a 2-category point of view?
A stack is usually given in terms of:
-A category $F$ fibered over another $C$ such that the functor $Hom(x,y), x,y \in F(\alpha), \alpha \in C$ is a sheaf
-The descent data are effective.
There ...

Why is there no stack of $\ell$-adic sheaves on a curve?
One of the main players in the categorical geometric langlands correspondence is the moduli stack of rank n integrable connections on a complex curve. The reason for considering such objects is that ...

Fpqc sheafification and localisation
I am slightly confused about sheafification at the moment.
I first learned sheaves defined as a subcategory of presheaves, then I was told that sheaves are also a localisation of presheaves, then I ...

surjective morphism of schemes or epimorphism of sheaves?
I have a technical question coming from reading Toen's master course on stacks.
If we view schemes as locally ringed spaces then there we could define a morphism to be surjective if it the underlying ...

Does the concept of a basis for a topology on a category exist?
If we want to define a sheaf F on a topological space X and we have a basis B for the topology of X, what we can do is to define objects and restrictions for guys in B, check that they satisfy the "B-...

Stacks and sheaves
I'm a bit confused by the double role which sheaves play in the theory of stacks.
On the one hand, sheaves on a site are the obvious generalization of a sheaf on a topological space. On the other ...

Finiteness conditions on simplicial sheaves/presheaves
Could someone give an overview, or just some examples, of "finiteness conditions" for simplicial sheaves/presheaves and/or simplicial schemes? Any answer or comment about this would be interesting, ...
