    added Grothendieck’s alternative “formally principal homogeneous space”

    Also added pointer to pages 73-74 in

    added pointer to

    which already has the term “formally principal” on p. 15 (without the “homogeneous”)

    So I guess the category of pseudotorsors for GG is (equivalent to) the result of adding a formal initial object to the groupoid BG\mathbf{B}G?

    It’s that trivial only internal to Sets, but the point of the exercise is that it’s much more interesting when internalized in richer ambient categories. Such as schemes. Or G-spaces. Or G-schemes….

    Made explicit (here) the observation that a pseudo-principal bundle PXP \to X is an effective epi iff it is the GG-quotient projection.
