Lemma 101.48.4. Let f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y} be a morphism of algebraic stacks. If f is quasi-compact and surjective and \mathcal{X} is decent, then \mathcal{Y} is decent.
Proof. Let x : \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) \to \mathcal{X} be a morphism where k is a field and denote y = f \circ x. Since f is surjective, every point of |\mathcal{Y}| arises in this manner, see Properties of Stacks, Lemma 100.4.4. Consider an affine scheme T and morphism T \to \mathcal{Y}. It suffices to show that T \times _{\mathcal{Y}, y} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) is quasi-compact, see Lemma 101.7.10. We have
(T \times _{\mathcal{Y}} \mathcal{X}) \times _{\mathcal{X}, x} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) = T \times _{\mathcal{Y}, y} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k)
The morphism T \times _{\mathcal{Y}} \mathcal{X} \to T is quasi-compact hence T \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X} is quasi-compact. Since x is a quasi-compact morphism as \mathcal{X} is decent we see that the displayed fibre product is quasi-compact. \square
