101.1 Introduction

In this chapter we introduce some types of morphisms of algebraic stacks. A reference in the case of quasi-separated algebraic stacks with representable diagonal is [LM-B].

The goal is to extend the definition of each of the types of morphisms of algebraic spaces to morphisms of algebraic stacks. Each case is slightly different and it seems best to treat them all separately.

For morphisms of algebraic stacks which are representable by algebraic spaces we have already defined a large number of types of morphisms, see Properties of Stacks, Section 100.3. For each corresponding case in this chapter we have to make sure the definition in the general case is compatible with the definition given there.
