Lemma 100.3.1. Let $f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$ be a morphism of algebraic stacks. Let $W$ be an algebraic space and let $W \to \mathcal{Y}$ be surjective, locally of finite presentation, and flat. The following are equivalent
$f$ is representable by algebraic spaces, and
$W \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X}$ is an algebraic space.
Proof. The implication (1) $\Rightarrow $ (2) is Algebraic Stacks, Lemma 94.9.8. Conversely, let $W \to \mathcal{Y}$ be as in (2). To prove (1) it suffices to show that $f$ is faithful on fibre categories, see Algebraic Stacks, Lemma 94.15.2. Assumption (2) implies in particular that $W \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X} \to W$ is faithful. Hence the faithfulness of $f$ follows from Stacks, Lemma 8.6.9. $\square$
