Lemma 78.17.1. Let B \to S as in Section 78.3. Let (U, R, s, t, c) be a groupoid in algebraic spaces over B. Let g : U' \to U be a morphism of algebraic spaces. Consider the following diagram
where all the squares are fibre product squares. Then there is a canonical composition law c' : R' \times _{s', U', t'} R' \to R' such that (U', R', s', t', c') is a groupoid in algebraic spaces over B and such that U' \to U, R' \to R defines a morphism (U', R', s', t', c') \to (U, R, s, t, c) of groupoids in algebraic spaces over B. Moreover, for any scheme T over B the functor of groupoids
is the restriction (see Groupoids, Section 39.18) of (U(T), R(T), s, t, c) via the map U'(T) \to U(T).
