Abstract

Let CC be a Grothendieck topos, GG and HH group objects of CC. Let p:PXp:P\rightarrow X be an HH-torsor. Suppose that XX is endowed with an action of GG. In this paper, we study the obstructions to lift the action of GG on XX to PP by using non commutative cohomology. Firstly, when a natural condition is satisfied, we associate to this problem an extension of groups objects in CC whose splittings correspond to the liftings of the action of GG. We apply the results obtained to the categories of topological and differentiable manifolds, and to the category of schemes. For the categories of differentiable manifolds and affine varieties defined over a closed field, we use also another approach induced by the slice theorems of Koszul and Luna which enable to define Grothendieck topologies for GG-invariant neighborhoods. This lifting problem has been studied in several categories by Brion, Hambleton, Hattori, Haussman, Lashof, May, Yoshida,... We recover and generalize some of their results
