Idea

An Artin stack is a geometric stack over the étale site: the stack quotient of a scheme whose automorphism groups are algebraic groups.

This is the general notion of algebraic stack. But often the latter term is used in a more restrictive sense to mean Deligne-Mumford stack.

Properties

References

Artin stacks are named after Michael Artin.
