Cohomologie non abelienne by Jean Giraud
Now a common tool and object of study, stacks were introduced in this book as a framework for the study of non-abelian cohomology classes in degrees 1 and 2 on an arbitrary topos. The book shows that these cohomology classes can be represented by geometric objects called torsors and gerbes, and provides a detailed study of their basic properties. Since their introduction in this book, gerbes have become a widespread tool in geometry and topology. A timeless classic, this French language book remains to this day a key reference for fibred categories, stacks, torsors, gerbes and topos.
Initially serialized in Spirou magazine in 1984, XIII was created by Jean Van Hamme, the author behind Thorgal and Largo Winch--the latter in comic and book form as well as on the big screen--and William Vance, illustrator of the bestsellers Howard Flynn, Bruce Hawker, Bruno Brazil, Bob Morane and Marshall Blueberry. This special volume, however, was illustrated by recently departed comic legend Jean Moebius Giraud, of Blueberry and L'Incal fame.
