  2. Stack (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(mathematics)

    In mathematics a stack or 2-sheaf is, roughly speaking, a sheaf that takes values in categories rather than sets. Stacks are used to formalise some of the main constructions of descent theory , and to construct fine moduli stacks when fine moduli spaces do not exist.

  5. Quotient stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_stack

    An effective quotient orbifold, e.g., [/] where the action has only finite stabilizers on the smooth space , is an example of a quotient stack. [2]If = with trivial action of (often is a point), then [/] is called the classifying stack of (in analogy with the classifying space of ) and is usually denoted by .

  6. Algebraic stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_stack

    In mathematics, an algebraic stack is a vast generalization of algebraic spaces, or schemes, which are foundational for studying moduli theory.Many moduli spaces are constructed using techniques specific to algebraic stacks, such as Artin's representability theorem, which is used to construct the moduli space of pointed algebraic curves, and the moduli stack of elliptic curves.

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

    Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, and the social sciences. Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent of any scientific experimentation.
