Mar 6, 2017 at 9:34 comment added Mark Grant @Tyler: That could well be. I was also wondering if difference cochains show up. For example, let $G=C_2$ generated by $\sigma$, then any (partial)section $s:B\to E$ can be "conjugated by $\sigma$" to produce another section $s^\sigma:B\to E$, and $s$ is equivariant iff $s=s^\sigma$. Now the difference cochain $\delta(s,s^\sigma)\in H^k(B,\pi_k(F))$ is defined, and probably is in $\ker(1+\sigma)$ so represents an element of $H^1(G;H^k(B,\pi_k(F))$. This is the kind of thing I was wondering about. It's all a bit reminiscent of the construction of Steenrod powers.
