Definition 100.5.1. Let $f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$ be a morphism of algebraic stacks. We say $f$ is surjective if the map $|f| : |\mathcal{X}| \to |\mathcal{Y}|$ of associated topological spaces is surjective.
100.5 Surjective morphisms
Let $f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$ be a morphism of algebraic stacks which is representable by algebraic spaces. In Section 100.3 we have already defined what it means for $f$ to be surjective. In Lemma 100.4.4 we have seen that this is equivalent to requiring $|f| : |\mathcal{X}| \to |\mathcal{Y}|$ to be surjective. This clears the way for the following definition.
Here are some lemmas.
Lemma 100.5.2. The composition of surjective morphisms is surjective.
Proof. Omitted. $\square$
Lemma 100.5.3. The base change of a surjective morphism is surjective.
Proof. Omitted. Hint: Use Lemma 100.4.3. $\square$
Lemma 100.5.4. Let $f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}$ be a morphism of algebraic stacks. Let $\mathcal{Y}' \to \mathcal{Y}$ be a surjective morphism of algebraic stacks. If the base change $f' : \mathcal{Y}' \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y}'$ of $f$ is surjective, then $f$ is surjective.
Proof. Immediate from Lemma 100.4.3. $\square$
Lemma 100.5.5. Let $\mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y} \to \mathcal{Z}$ be morphisms of algebraic stacks. If $\mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Z}$ is surjective so is $\mathcal{Y} \to \mathcal{Z}$.
Proof. Immediate. $\square$
