"Gerbe" is a construct in homological algebra and topology. They can be seen as a generalization of principal bundles to the setting of 2-categories. "Gerbe" is a French (and archaic English) word that literally means wheat sheaf. Gerbes were introduced by Jean Giraud (Giraud 1971) following ideas of Alexandre Grothendieck as a tool for non-commutative cohomology in degree 2.

Phenomena of gerbes
Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{F}$ be a sheaf of topological spaces on $X$.
Then, the map $U\mapsto \pi_1(\mathcal{F}(U))$ for $U\subseteq X$ open is a gerbe over $X$.
I learned this e …

Is a gerbe over a manifold is a special case of a gerbe over a stack?
There is a notion of Gerbe over a Manifold and a notion of Gerbe over a stack. Given a manifold $M$, there is a way to associate a stack $\underline{M}$ with it and this gives an embedding of cat …
