Question : What is a stack (in groupoids) over a site $\mathcal{C}$ for you? There are two a ways to think about it. A stack over a site $\mathcal{C}$ is a category $\mathcal{D}$ with a functor $\...

I am reading Differentiable stacks and gerbes by Kai Behrend and Ping Xu. Let $\mathfrak{S}$ denote the category of smooth manifolds and smooth maps. Consider Grothendieck topology given by open ...

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a stack over $S$ i.e., a stack over category of schemes over $S$ (which we denote by $Sch/S$) which comes with a functor $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow Sch/S$. Consider the diagonal map ...

I was wondering if there is some kind of Einstein's field equation for orbifolds (say semi-Riemannian of Lorentz signature if this make sense). Here, by an orbifold I mean the "stacky" quotient of, ...

Let $(\Gamma_1\rightrightarrows \Gamma_0)$ be a Lie groupoid. There are many places which define the notion of connection on a Lie groupoid. As far as I have seen, there is no mention of these ...

Let $X$ be a differentiable stacks, and let $(G_{0}, G_{1}, s,t)$ be a Lie groupoid representing $X$. Let $NG_{\bullet}$ be the nerve of the above groupoid. The De rham complex of $X$ can be defined ...
