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 $\...

Is there an inverse image functor for sheaves on stacks?
I'm interested specifically in an inverse image functor between differentiable stacks, ie. stacks coming from Lie groupoids. Specifically, if I have a morphism of Lie groupoids $H\to G$ and I have a ...

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 ...

Understanding the definition of stacks
First of all I should apologies if this question does not count as a research level one. I asked the same question on MathUnderflow and didn't receive any answer. Let me cross post (copy and paste) it ...

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 ...

Does the category of $G$-equivariant sheaves have enough injectives?
The question is related to this one.
Let $k$ be a field and $X$ be a topological space. We consider Sh$(X)$, the category of sheaves of $k$-vector spaces on $X$.
Let $G$ be a topological group which ...

What is the total space of a stack after all?
From my general experience I think for myself of what follows as some kind of taboo question for some reason: in my imagination, everybody wants an answer to this but somehow thinks it shall not be ...

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 ...

Dense (∞,1)-subsites
So if $C$ is a 1-site and $D$ is a subsite (with the induced coverage), there are some conditions that ensure that the pre-composition and right Kan extension functors yield an equivalence of ...

Associating a principal bundle to a torsor
In Introduction to the language of stacks and gerbes, Moerdijk defines a torsor to be a sheaf $\mathcal{S}$ on $X$ with a freely transitive left-action of a sheaf of groups $\mathcal{G}$, such that $...

What is the difference between internal presheaves and presheaves on a total space?
Suppose that $\mathbb{C}$ is a category with finite limits and that $\mathcal{D}$ is a category internal to $\mathbb{C}$. We can also represent $\mathcal{D}$ as a fibration $\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{C}$.

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 ...

How does the machinery of left-exact comonads generalize from sheaves to stacks?
Suppose that we have two Grothendieck sites, their associated sheaves $\mathcal{E}=\rm{Sh}(\bf{C},J)$ and $\mathcal{F}=\rm{Sh}(\bf{D},K)$ and a geometric surjection $f:\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{F}$. This ...

Fpqc sheafification and localisation

I first learned sheaves defined as a subcategory of presheaves, then I was told that sheaves are also a localisation of presheaves, then I ...

On the one hand, sheaves on a site are the obvious generalization of a sheaf on a topological space. On the other ...

Does sheafification preserve sheaves for a different topology?
Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be two Grothendieck topologies on the same small category $C$, and let $T_3 = T_1 \cup T_2$ (by which I mean the smallest Grothendieck topology on $C$ containing $T_1$ and $T_2$). ...
