We recall in this chapter a few basic definitions and results (without proofs) about algebraic stacks. For a more complete treatment (and in particular for proofs of many of the results stated here) see the book of Laumon and Moret-Bailly [31] and Vistoli’s paper [49].
Throughout this chapter we work over a fixed a base scheme S, and consider the étale topology on the category (Sch/S) of schemes over S, unless otherwise mentioned.
