This was a mentoring workshop based on similarly structured workshops at Oklahoma State University in 1995 and 1999 and out of the 2001 Graduate Summer School of the IAS Park City Mathematics Institute, where in particular the topic of stacks was identified as one of intense interest. The workshop may also be seen as serving as a kind of graduate student companion to the stacks semester currently underway at MSRI. The workshop was supported by the University of Illinois, the Institute for Advanced Study/Park City Mathematics Institute, and the National Science Foundation.

Mentors:

Ravi Vakil, <vakil@math.stanford.edu>

Organizing Committee:

• Herb Clemens, clemens@math.utah.edu
• Henri Gillet, gillet@uic.edu
• Dan Grayson, dan@math.uiuc.edu
• Sheldon Katz, katz@math.uiuc.edu

Lecture notes from the workshop:

• Henri Gillet
• Mike Stillman
• Ravi Vakil

Here are streaming videos of the MSRI lectures given this Spring at MSRI, including some introductory lectures about stacks. (Note that the title of Gillet's talk in March is actually Can one do arithmetic intersection theory on stacks?)
