Are fibered categories fibrant objects in some model structure on Cat/C?

Given a category $\mathcal{C}$, by a category over $\mathcal{C}$, I mean a category $\mathcal{D}$ along with a functor $\pi_{\mathcal{D}}:\mathcal{D}\rightarrow \mathcal{C}$. Consider the category $Ca …

Understanding the definition of atlas of a stack over the category of manifolds

An atlas for a stack $\mathcal{D}\rightarrow Man$ is a smooth manifold $X$ and a map of stacks $p:\underline{X}\rightarrow \mathcal{D}$ such that, given a smooth manifo …

Understanding definition of gerbe over a stack

I am reading Differentiable Stacks and Gerbes by Kai Behrend and Ping Xu. They define gerbe over a stack as follows. Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a differentiable stack. An $\mathfrak{S}$-stack $\mathfr …

To check if a stack is coming from a manifold

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a stack. An atlas for stack $\mathcal{D}$ is given by a smooth manifold $X$ and a map of stacks $p:\underline{X}\rightarrow \mathcal{D}$ such that, for any manifold $M$ a …

Atlas of gerbe over stack

Suppose $F:\mathcal{X}\rightarrow\mathcal{Y}$ is gerbe over stack and $p:X\rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ is an atlas $\mathcal{X}$. Does this imply $F\circ p:X\rightarrow \mathcal{Y}$ is an atlas for $\m …

Significance of some expected results when defining Grothendieck topology

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category. Fixing an object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$, there are some obvious functors we can associate to it, for example: $h_U:\mathcal{C}^{op}\rightarrow \text{Set}$ given by $V\ …

Requirement that source and target maps are surjective submersions

Definition I am aware of for Lie groupoid is that (among other things) the source and target maps $s,t:\mathcal{G}_1\rightarrow \mathcal{G}_0$ are submersions. On page 9 of Du Li's thesis Higher Grou …
