### Verifying that $\epsilon^!$ is indeed the right adjoint of $\epsilon_*$ in the context of algebraic stacks

The question is about the last paragraph of Remark 12.4.3 in the book on algebraic stacks by Laumon and Moret-Bailly. Let $S$ be a (quasi-separated) scheme and let $\mathscr{X}$ be an algebraic stack ...

### Is there an equivalent form for Wishart to a power times a normal?

Lin described two equivalent characterizations of the multivariate t-distribution, viz. As a normal vector divided by an independent chi. That is, $t = Z / \sqrt{\chi^2/v}$, where $Z$ is ...
