Abstract
We develop a theory of quasi-coherent and constructible sheaves on algebraic stacks correcting a mistake in the recent book of Laumon and Moret-Bailly. We study basic cohomological properties of such sheaves, and prove stack-theoretic versions of Grothendieck's Fundamental Theorem for proper morphisms, Grothendieck's Existence Theorem, Zariski's Connectedness Theorem, as well as finiteness theorems for proper push forwards of coherent and constructible sheaves. We also explain how to define a derived pullback functor which enables one to carry through the construction of a cotangent complex for a morphism of algebraic stacks due to Laumon and Moret-Bailly.
