Lie algebras and pulled back group schemes
As the link in Erica's comment shows, you can find this in SGA3 Exp. 2, but it is not so easy to extract from the very general language. Here is a rough guide: From Definition 3.9.0, the Lie algebra …

What structure does Rep(vertex algebra) have?
I suspect the expected structure of $Rep(V)$ common to all vertex algebras $V$ is something like "abelian pseudomonoidal category" and I don't think you can say much else. The abelian structure follo …

Algebraic spaces in the étale topology (proof from Stacks project)
Recall from the beginning of the proof of the lemma that $R$ is defined to be $U \times_F U$, so the surjections $U \to F \to U/R$ induce a canonical étale sheaf map $U \times_{U/R} U \to U \times_F U …

Proofs where higher dimension or cardinality actually enabled much simpler proof?
The Max-Cut problem for a graph asks for a subset $S$ of vertices such that the number of edges between $S$ and the complement of $S$ is maximized. This problem is NP-hard. In fact, Håstad showed th …

Motivating the coefficient field of $\ell$-adic cohomology
One historical reason for considering $\ell$-adic cohomology, not completely disconnected from the example you introduce, is that for a curve over a field, we get a natural Galois representation by ta …

Arc space & formal loops in motivic integration
I believe Nash originally chose the term "arc" to mean a short path, rather than a circle. The ring of functions on the completion of an algebraic curve over $k$ at a smooth $k$-point is isomorphic t …

Do rational points in a split reductive group act transitively on the orbits of the Cartan s...
Let $(G,T,M)$ be a split reductive group (over say, the integers), with Lie algebra $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{t})$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. When $R$ is an algebraically closed field, it is …

Is the formal completion of an affine group necessarily a formal group?
The universal map is not a map of formal groups without some extra condition. An easy class of counterexamples comes from completions of an affine group along a closed subscheme that does not contain …

This follows from Theorem 6 in Steinberg's "Some consequences of the elementary relations in $SL_n$" in "Finite groups — coming of age", Contemporary Math. 45 Amer. Math. Soc. (sorry, I could only fin …

Comparison of two definitions of the modular sheaf $\omega$
The condition that the pullback $e^*(\mathcal{F})$ be naturally identified with the pushforward $p_*(\mathcal{F})$ can be tautologically interpreted as saying that for any open set $U$ in $X$, any sec …

Stack associated to Groupoid object in category $\text{Sch}/S$
For any algebraic stack $X$, there is a groupoid in schemes whose fppf stackification is equivalent to $X$. You can construct such a groupoid following the stacks project, by choosing a smooth presen …

Local question and descent category for a quasi-coherent sheaf on $\mathbb{G}_m$-gerbe
I'm not sure how you have chosen to define "quasicoherent sheaf on the stack $\mathcal{G}$". One way to make a definition is to construct the fibered category $QCoh$ over affine schemes, whose object …

Why are modular curves non-trivial covers of the $j$-line
Since you are looking for moduli interpretations, we may either work with stacks, or assume $d$ is large enough that $Y(d)$ is representable (i.e., at least 3).
Perhaps the easiest answer is that in …

A log structure on the moduli space of curves
As Piotr Achinger suggested in a comment, your log moduli space is the direct product of $M_{g,n}$ with the log point $\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{N}^n \to \mathbb{C})$ given by the monoid map $(x_1,\ …

What are advantages of chiral algebras over vertex algebras?
The main advantage of chiral algebras over vertex algebras is that they admit "very functorial" definitions, and this helps more general concepts and constructions appear naturally. The usual example …
