When is $B^G\backslash(B/A)^G$ finite?

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, let $A,B$ be (not necessarily abelian) connected reductive complex groups equipped with continuous actions of $G$ via algebraic automorphisms. Let $\phi:A\to B$ be ...

Minimal parabolic subgroups are $G(k)$-conjugate: a cohomological interpretation?

Let $G$ be a connected,reductive group over a $p$-adic field $k$. Let $M_0$ be a minimal Levi subgroup of $G$, and define $M_0^{\operatorname{der}}$ to be $M_0 \cap G_{\operatorname{der}}$. Lemma 2....

Non-abelian group cohomology, additional information

Let $G$ be a (profinite) group, and let $M$ be a non-abelian $G$-module. We know how to construct reasonably $H^0(G,M)$ and $H^1(G,M)$ and it turns out that $H^1(G,M)$ is just a pointed set and not ...

Connection between the classifications of group extensions and group-graded algebras in terms of non-abelian cohomology

First, consider group extensions with non-abelian kernel $$1\to K\to G \to Q \to 1$$ It is well-known that these are classified by certain cohomological objects, specifically: Any such extension ...

Non-abelian Ext functor and non-abelian $H^2$

Let $G$ be a group and $$0\rightarrow K\rightarrow M\rightarrow N\rightarrow 0$$ a short exact sequence of groups. Now these are abelian groups, if I want to show that $\text{Hom}(G,M)\rightarrow \...

sequences in non-abelian group cohomology

In general, if we have a (pro-)finite group $G$ and a sequence of (continuous) non-abelian $G$-modules $$1\rightarrow A\rightarrow B\rightarrow C\rightarrow 0,$$ such that the image of $A$ lies in the ...

Second nonabelian group cohomology: cocycles vs. gerbes

In 1965 Jean Giraud published two Comptes Rendus notes titled "Cohomologie non abélienne", and in 1971 he published a book with the same title. In 1966 Tonny A. Springer's paper "Nonabelian $H^2$ in ...

primary decomposition for nonabelian cohomology of finite groups

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $M$ be a group on which $G$ acts (via a homomorphism $G\to \operatorname{Aut}(M)$). If $M$ is abelian, hence a $\mathbb{Z}G$-module, there is a primary ...

Albrecht Fröhlich's text `Groupoids, groupoid spaces and cohomology' (1965)

I am looking for Albrecht Fröhlich's unpublished text `Groupoids, groupoid spaces and cohomology' (1965). In this text Fröhlich defines cohomology of a group with coefficients in a groupoid (this was ...
