    • I am moving the following old query box exchange from orbifold to here.

      old query box discussion:

      I am confused by this page. It starts out by boldly declaring that “An orbifold is a differentiable stack which may be presented by a proper étale Lie groupoid” but then it goes on to talk about the “traditional” definition. The traditional definition definitely does not view orbifolds as stacks. Neither does Moerdijk’s paper referenced below — there orbifolds form a 1-category.

      Personally I am not completely convinced that orbifolds are differentiable stacks. Would it not be better to start out by saying that there is no consensus on what orbifolds “really are” and lay out three points of view: traditional, Moerdijk’s “orbifolds as groupoids” (called “modern” by Adem and Ruan in their book) and orbifolds as stacks?

      Urs Schreiber: please, go ahead. It would be appreciated.

    • I tried to explain what a superselection sector is which is less easy than one would think…of course what I would really like to do is to explain some DHR-superselection theory and there one can of course cite the mathematical definition without any further explanation of the origins :-)

    • Started pure subobject. I wish someone would tell me the intuitive reason for their importance though!

    • Comment about Ackermann function. I don’t know what Ackermann originally wrote, but most texts use A_0(m)=m+1, if I understand correctly.
