### Understanding the definition of stacks

A canonical example of a sheaf of sets on a topological space $X$ is the sheaf that sends an open subset $U$ of $X$ to the set of continuous real-valued functions on $U$. The gluing property then says ...

### Stacks as local quotients or via atlases

I'm not entirely sure if this qualifies as an answer, but it is certainly too long for a comment. I hope that someone else will give a better answer. If you want to define an algebraic stack as ...

### Stack being represented by a scheme/manifold

If all objects of a stack have trivial automorphism groups then it is equivalent to a sheaf, as pointed out by Daniel Litt in the comments. Pick your favourite non-representable sheaf as a ...

### What is the local structure of a general Artin stack?

The stack of curves of genus 0 with at most one node is a quotient stack (see The integral Chow ring of the stack of at most 1-nodal rational curves, but Edidin and Fulghesu), so you are fine in this ...

### Examples of of gerbe over stacks in terms of manifolds

There are no other such gerbes. If $M$ and $N$ are manifolds, and $p\colon \underline{M}\to \underline{N}$ is a gerbe, then the corresponding map of manifolds is a diffeomorphism. The same holds if ...

### Understanding definition of gerbe over a stack

I am trying to write down what does it mean to say those two maps $\mathcal{D}\rightarrow \mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}\rightarrow \mathcal{D}\times_{\mathcal{C}}\mathcal{D}$ to be epimorphisms. I am ...
