We will define the Ran space as well as Ran space versions of some of the prestacks we've already seen, and explain what is meant by the homology of a prestack. Following Gaitsgory and possibly Drinfeld, we'll show how the Ran space machinery can be used to prove that the space of rational maps is homologically contractible.
