"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.

Roadmap to understand gerbe in the sense of Lurie’s Higher Topos Theory
Definition $7.2.2.20$ : Let $\mathfrak{X} $ be an $\infty$-topos. An $n$-gerbe on $\mathfrak{X}$ is an object in $\mathfrak{X}$ which is $n$-connective and $n$-truncated.
Above is the definition …

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 …

Crossed modules in context of gerbes
Question : How does Crossed modules comes into the set up of gerbes.
I am reading notes on 1- and 2-gerbes by Lawrence Breen. Once he defines torsors, he introduces notion of crossed modules. … As gerbes are seen as elements of third cohomology class here, I am expecting that understanding about crossed modules in same setup as that of gerbes might give better idea of gerbes. …
