Do automorphisms actually prevent the formation of fine moduli spaces?

I have found similar questions littered throughout this site and math.SE (for example [1], [2], [3],…), but I feel like like most of them usually just say that non-trivial automorphisms prevent the ...

Frobenius pullback of an integrable connection on a quasi-projective scheme

Let $X_k$ be a smooth quasi-projective scheme over a finite field $k$. Let $X_K$ be a smooth lift of $X_k$ to characteristic $0$, and let $(X_K)^{\text{an}}$ denote the rigid analytic space associated ...

Common gerbes over two K3 surfaces

Let $X$ and $Y$ be K3 surfaces over the complex numbers. Under what assumptions, do there exist a finite group $G_X$ a finite group $G_Y$ a $G_X$-gerbe $\mathcal{X}\to X$ (for the fppf topology) a $...

Commutative group algebraic spaces

Is the category of commutative group algebraic spaces (commutative group objects in algebraic spaces) locally of finite type over a field, an abelian category? I would benefit from a reference

Do isomorphisms spread out under suitable assumptions?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the "pathological" algebraic space $\mathbb{A}^1/\mathbb{Z}$; see Questions about the algebraic space $\mathbb{A}^1/\mathbb{Z}$ and Why is this not an algebraic ...

Is there a reference for boundedness of smooth canonically polarized varieties over Z (No...)

In Kollár's paper Quotient spaces modulo algebraic groups, Kollár mentions right above Theorem 1.8 that the stack $\mathcal M_P$ of smooth canonically polarized varieties over Spec $\mathbb Z$ with ...

Is there a difference between the inertia stack and the universal automorphism group

Let $\mathcal M$ be a stack representing some moduli problem. Let $\mathcal X\to \mathcal M$ be the corresponding universal family. What is the difference between the inertia stack $I\to \mathcal M$ ...

Algebraic spaces which are automatically schemes

Let $S$ be a scheme, and let $f:X\to S$ be a morphism of algebraic spaces. If $f$ is smooth proper curve of genus at least two, then $X$ is a scheme. (Here I mean that $f$ is a smooth proper morphism ...

On functors which are generically representable

Let $F$ be a set-valued (contravariant) functor on the category of schemes. Let $F_{\mathbb Q}$ be the associated functor on the category of schemes over $\mathbb Q$. Suppose that $F_{\mathbb Q}$ is ...

Representability of morphism of stacks

A morphism of Artin stacks $f:X\to Y$ over $\mathbb Q$ is representable by algebraic spaces if and only if its geometric fibres are algebraic spaces. I would like to know if one can use this to prove ...

Groupoid cardinality of DM stack and point counting on coarse moduli spaces

Let $X$ be a finite type DM stack over a finite field $k$ with a coarse moduli space $X_c$. (We only assume $X_c$ is an algebraic space and $X$ might have infinite inertia stack.) Under which ...

Torsors in the analytic topology versus torsors in the etale topology

Let $S= \mathbb A^1_{\mathbb C}$ be the affine line, and let $G$ be a smooth connected reductive group over $S$, e.g., $G = \mathbb G_m, \mathrm{SL}_n$ or $SO_n$. Is every analytic $G$-torsor over $S$...

Finite etale atlas for Deligne-Mumford stacks

Let $X$ be a smooth finite type separated connected Deligne-Mumford stack over $\mathbb C$. Does there exist a finite etale morphism $Y\to X$ with $Y$ a scheme? What if $X$ is an algebraic space (i....

Deforming curves to other curves over the field of rational numbers

Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth projective geometrically connected curves over $k$ of genus $g$ at least two. If $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, there exists a connected ...

are moduli stacks deligne-mumford stacks in general

Let M be your favorite moduli stack over the field of complex numbers. Is it reasonable to expect M to be a Deligne-Mumford stack? I know this is true for the moduli space of curves of genus g, ppav'...

stack quotient question

Hi, I have the following question: let $k$ a field with $char(k)= p>0$, which we can assume to be perfect, $W(k)$ the ring of Witt vector, and $a,b$ positive integers. Consider the ring $R=W(k)[x,...

Stacks in modern number theory/arithmetic geometry

Stacks, of varying kinds, appear in algebraic geometry whenever we have moduli problems, most famously the stacks of (marked) curves. But these seem to be to be very geometric in motivation, so I was ...
