The Stacks Project is a collaborative, open-source textbook and reference work on algebraic stacks and the algebraic geometry needed to define them, written in LaTeX and rendered online. The repository contains the TeX source files, build tooling, and contribution workflow for the continuously updated text hosted at stacks.math.columbia.edu.

Use cases

• read an authoritative reference on algebraic stacks and schemes
• look up a lemma or theorem by its permanent tag
• contribute corrections or new chapters to an open math textbook
• build the PDF/DVI versions of the Stacks project locally
• search a comprehensive graduate-level algebraic geometry reference online

When to choose

• you are a graduate student or researcher needing a rigorous reference for algebraic geometry or stacks
• you want to cite results with stable permanent tags
• you want to contribute to or extend an open mathematical text

When to avoid

• you need an introductory or beginner-friendly algebraic geometry text
• you want software or a library rather than a mathematical reference
• you need offline-first documentation with no LaTeX build step
