Building Data for Stacky Covers

Eric Ahlqvist

Abstract

We define stacky building data for stacky covers in the spirit of Pardini and give an equivalence of (2,1)-categories between the category of stacky covers and the category of stacky building data. We show that every stacky cover is a flat root stack in the sense of Olsson and Borne--Vistoli and give an intrinsic description of it as a root stack using stacky building data. When the base scheme S is defined over a field, we give a criterion for when a birational building datum comes from a tamely ramified cover for a finite abelian group scheme, generalizing a result of Biswas--Borne.

Key Result

Theorem \ref{thm:main}

Let $\pi\colon \mathscr{X}\to S$ be a stacky cover. Then there exists a canonical (up to canonical isomorphism) building datum$(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{L})$ where $\mathcal{A}=\mathop{\mathrm{Pic}}\nolimits_{\mathscr{X}/S}$ is the relative picard functor, and a canonical isomorphism of stacks where $S_{(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{L})}$ is the root stack associated to the building datum $(\mathcal{A},\math
