Virtual classes of -gerbes
arXiv:1905.06830 · doi:10.1007/s00229-020-01245-8
Abstract
We show that a perfect obstruction theory for a -gerbe determines a semi-perfect obstruction theory for its base, which is perfect if the gerbe is quasi-compact and affine-pointed. These results streamline the construction of a semi-perfect obstruction theory for the base, and allow us to relate virtual classes of the gerbe and its base.
