Definition

A morphism f:XYf : X \to Y of stacks over a site CC is called representable if for all representable objects UCYStacks(C)U \in C \stackrel{Y}{\hookrightarrow} Stacks(C) and all morphisms UYU \to Y the homotopy pullback X× YUX \times_Y U in

X× YU X f U Y \array{ X \times_Y U &\to& X \\ \downarrow &{}^{\simeq}\swArrow& \downarrow^f \\ U &\to& Y }

is again representable.

Properties

Push-forward in generalized cohomology

Along representable morphisms ff of stacks over smooth manifolds (smooth infinity-groupoids) is induced a push-forward in generalized cohomology operation.

References

The general definition appears for instance as def. 38.5 in

(there with stacks perceived equivalently and dually under the Grothendieck construction as fibered categories).
