On composition of torsors

Abstract

Let KK be a field, let XX be a connected smooth KK-scheme and let G,HG,H be two smooth connected KK-group schemes. Given YXY \to X a GG-torsor and ZYZ \to Y an HH-torsor, we study whether one can find an extension EE of GG by HH so that the composite ZXZ \to X is an EE-torsor. We give both positive and negative results, depending on the nature of the groups GG and HH.
