Stack of smooth fiber bundles with fiber $F$

I'd like to premise that while I know the definition of (differentiable) stack, I'm not really into the language of schemes so my understanding of what is a moduli stack is pretty concrete and ...

Anafunctors vs the plus construction

Given a Lie groupoid $G$, we can view it as representing a prestack on $\text{Mfld}$ by sending and manfold $M$ to the groupoid of smooth functors and smooth natural transformations $$G(M) := \text{...

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 ...

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lie groupoid to present a stack

Let $\mathcal{G} = G_1 \rightrightarrows G_0$ be a Lie Groupoid (although I am also interested in groupoids internal to other sites), the stack associated to $\mathcal{G}$, which is sometimes denoted $...

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 ...

Compactly supported cohomology of a topological DM stack

Consider a separated topological Deligne-Mumford stack $\mathfrak X$, i.e., a topological stack which is presentable by a proper etale topological groupoid (equivalently, $\mathfrak X$ is locally ...

What is the local structure of a general Artin stack?

Let $X$ be an Artin stack over the complex numbers. What can one say about the local structure of $X$, i.e. what is the simplest class of stacks by which were can always find a cover of $X$ by open ...

Stacks as local quotients or via atlases

If one looks up the definition of a Deligne--Mumford stack or an Artin stack, one usually finds something like: A DM (resp. Artin) stack is a stack $X$ satisfying [insert condition in the diagonal ...

Stack associated to Groupoid object in category $\text{Sch}/S$

Consider the category of manifolds $\text{Man}$. A groupoid object in the category of manifolds is called a Lie groupoid, denoted by $\mathcal{G}$. There is a way to associate a stack (over the ...

Fibered product of stacks comes from a Lie groupoid

I am adding some context here. I am reading Introduction to Differentiable Stacks by Gregory Ginot. In page no $7$, just before the remark $2.2$ he says the following. One shall be careful that ...

Criterion for a sheaf $\mathfrak{S}^{op}\rightarrow (Set)$ to be representable

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 ...

Stack being represented by a scheme/manifold

On page $10$ of the survey article Algebraic stacks, by T. Gomez (arXiv:math/9911199), we have following result If a stack has an object with an automorphism other than the identity, then the ...
