Moreover, we prove these properties in the important special case of orbifolds whose associated algebraic space is a scheme.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-07-23T14:49:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14A20", "14L30" ], "keywords": [ "resolution property", "important special case", "vector bundle", "algebraic stacks", "quotient stack" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......7210T" } } }
