We prove that the homotopy algebraic
-theory of
tame quasi-DM stacks satisfies cdh-descent. We apply this descent result to prove that if
is a Noetherian tame
quasi-DM stack and
,
then
if
is nilpotent
on
and
if
is invertible
on
.
Our descent and vanishing results apply more generally to certain Artin stacks whose
stabilizers are extensions of finite group schemes by group schemes of multiplicative
type.
