Stack (mathematics)

Stack (mathematics)

Stack in mathematics refers to two category-theoretical concepts, which are connected to each other:
* Stack in general is a fibred category that satisfies sheaf-type glueing axioms; they are a key concept in in formalising descent theory
* Algebraic stacks are very specific types of stacks, which provide for an extension of the categories of schemes and algebraic spaces; they are particularly central in the study of moduli spaces.
