We generalize the notion of a small sheaf of sets over a topological space or manifold to define the notion of a small stack of groupoids over an \'etale topological or differentiable stack. We then provide a construction analogous to the…

In this paper, we consider diffeological spaces as stacks over the site of smooth manifolds, as well as the "underlying" diffeological space of any stack. More precisely, we consider diffeological spaces as so-called concrete sheaves and…

The first goal of this survey paper is to argue that if orbifolds are groupoids, then the collection of orbifolds and their maps has to be thought of as a 2-category. Compare this with the classical definition of Satake and Thurston of…

To a smooth and proper morphism $\mathcal{X}\to U$ with quasicompact semiseparated target we associate a sheaf in the \'etale topology, which takes an affine $U$-scheme $V$ to the set of $V$-linear semiorthogonal decompositions (of fixed…

We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…

This is the first in a series of papers devoted to foundations of topological stacks. We begin developing a homotopy theory for topological stacks along the lines of classical homotopy theory of topological spaces. In this paper we go as…

We explain how any Artin stack $\mathfrak{X}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ extends to a functor on non-negatively graded commutative cochain algebras, which we think of as functions on Lie algebroids or stacky affine schemes. There is a notion of…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a Lie groupoid. The category $B\mathcal{G}$ of principal $\mathcal{G}$-bundles defines a differentiable stack. On the other hand, given a differentiable stack $\mathcal{D}$, there exists a Lie groupoid $\mathcal{H}$…

We prove that an algebraic stack with affine stabilizers over an arbitrary base is \'etale-locally a quotient stack around any point with a linearly reductive stabilizer. This generalizes earlier work by the authors of this article (stacks…

A new approach to \'etale homotopy theory is presented which applies to a much broader class of objects than previously existing approaches, namely it applies not only to all schemes (without any local Noetherian hypothesis), but also to…

We give a detailed proof that locally Noetherian moduli stacks of sections carry canonical obstruction theories. As part of the argument we construct a dualizing sheaf and trace map, in the lisse-etale topology, for families of tame twisted…

We show that a formal Deligne--Mumford stack is formal-locally represented by a formal scheme. This is an analogue of Frobenius theorem for smooth foliations in any characteristic and without smoothness hypotheses on the ambient space.

Molino's description of Riemannian foliations on compact manifolds is generalized to the setting of compact equicontinuous foliated spaces, in the case where the leaves are dense. In particular, a structural local group is associated to…

In this PhD thesis, we have studied certain geometric structures over Lie groupoids and differentiable stacks. This thesis is based on the work [arXiv:2103.04560, arXiv:2012.08447, arXiv:2012.08442, arXiv:1907.00375]. In [arXiv:1907.00375],…

The goal of this paper is to prove Riemann-Roch type theorems for Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks. To this end, we introduce a "cohomology with coefficients in representations" and a Chern character, and we prove a…

Several possible presentations for the homotopy theory of (non-hypercomplete) $\infty$-stacks on a classical site S are discussed. In particular, it is shown that an elegant combinatorial description in terms of diagrams in S exists,…

We prove that etale morphisms of schemes yield separable extensions of derived categories. We then generalize the Neeman-Thomason Localization Theorem to separable extensions of triangulated categories.

We show that the inertia stack of a topological stack is again a topological stack. We further observe that the inertia stack of an orbispace is again an orbispace. We show how a U(1)-banded gerbe over an orbispace gives rise to a flat line…

This is a concise introduction to the theory of Lie groupoids, with emphasis in their role as models for stacks. After some preliminaries, we review the foundations on Lie groupoids, and we carefully study equivalences and proper groupoids.…

In casual discussion, a stack is often described as a variety (the coarse space) together with stabilizer groups attached to some of its subvarieties. However, this description does not uniquely specify the stack. Our main result shows that…
