Title: Separated Morphisms and Proper Morphisms.
Abstract: Separated morphisms and proper morphisms are two very important classes of morphisms in algebraic geometry. In the next few lectures, we will study these for schemes, algebraic spaces, and algebraic stacks. The basic theory of such morphisms between schemes is given in Hartshorne's `Algebraic Geometry', Chapter 2, Section 4. After recalling the basics, we will go on to consider such morphisms between algebraic spaces and then between algebraic stacks. The first few lectures should be easily accessible to beginner students in algebraic geometry.
