Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the notion of a topological groupoid extension and relate it to the already existing notion of a gerbe over a topological stack. We further study the properties of a gerbe over a Serre, Hurewicz stack.


This paper introduces the notion of Morita equivalence of topological groupoid extensions, investigating its relation with a gerbe over a topological stacck. The paper offers a topological version of the authors' previous work [Bull. Sci. Math. 163, Article ID 102886, 30 p. (2020; Zbl 1453.14003)] within the smooth setup. The most distinctive feature in the topological setup is the representability of a morphism of stacks obtained from a topoloigcal space (Lemma 2.10), which in turn shows the existence of a pair of atlases related by a map of local sections (Lemma 2.11). A Serre fibration is a continuous map of topological spaces that has homotopy lifting property with respect to CW complexes, while a Hurewicz fibration enjoys homotopy lifting property with respect to all topological spaces. A Hurewicz (respectively, Serre) stack is a topological stack that is representable to a topological groupoid \[ \left[ X_{1}\rightrightarrows X_{0}\right] \] whose source map is a Hurewicz (respectively, Serre) morphism of stacks. The notions of Serre and Hurewicz stacks were introduced in [\textit{B. Noohi}, Adv. Math. 252, 612--640 (2014; Zbl 1310.14006)]. The main contributions of this paper are the introduction of a Hurewicz (respectively, Serre) gerbe and the observation on its relation with a Hurewicz (respectively, Serre) morphism of stacks.
