Abstract
We develop Azumaya geometry, which is an extension of classical affine geometry to the world of Azumaya algebras, and package the information contained in all quotient stacks into a presheaf on it. We show that the classical \'etale and Zariski topologies extend to Grothendieck topologies on Azumaya geometry in uncountably many ways, and prove that is a sheaf for all of them. The restriction to a specific Azumaya algebra with center gives us a sheaf in the \'etale topology which is represented by an affine -scheme , which we call the Azumaya representation scheme of with respect to .
