Abstract: In this note we define fibrations of topological stacks and establish their main properties. We prove various standard results about fibrations (fiber homotopy exact sequence, Leray-Serre and Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequences, etc.). We prove various criteria for a morphism of topological stacks to be a fibration, and use these to produce examples of fibrations. We prove that every morphism of topological stacks factors through a fibration and construct the homotopy fiber of a morphism of topological stacks. When restricted to topological spaces our notion of fibration coincides with the classical one.


(For this paper, a \textit{topological stack} is a category, \(\mathcal{X}\), fibred in groupoids over a Grothendieck topos, \(\mathsf{T = CGTop}\), of compactly generated Hausdorff spaces with the open-cover Grothendieck topology, and which is equivalent to a quotient stack of a topological groupoid.) The paper starts by reviewing a homotopy theory for topological stacks, including the notion of locally shrinkable morphism (related to the existence of weak local sections). The existence of a form of classifying space for a topological stack is stated (with a proof being given in [\textit{B. Noohi}, Adv. Math. 230, No. 4--6, 2014--2047 (2012; Zbl 1264.55010)], Theorem 6.3). A notion of fibration for topological stacks is introduced in section 3, via a covering homotopy property. (Both Hurewicz and Serre fibration analogues are considered.) The basic properties of such fibrations are then developed. (There is a very useful summary subsection at the end of this.) In the fourth section, various classes of examples linking the notion to covering morphisms, quotient stacks and gerbes are discussed. Further sections then explore analogues of long exact sequences, homotopy fibres and both Leray-Sere and Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequences.
