Distinguishing Algebraic Spaces from Schemes

Algebraic Geometry 2024-11-12 v1

Abstract

We introduce local invariants of algebraic spaces and stacks which measure how far they are from being a scheme. Using these invariants, we develop mostly topological criteria to determine when the moduli space of a stack is a scheme. As an application we study moduli of principal bundles on a smooth projective curve.
