Non-Abelian Hopf Cohomology

Abstract

We introduce non-abelian cohomology sets of Hopf algebras with coefficients in Hopf modules. We prove that these sets generalize Serre's non-abelian group cohomology theory. Using descent techniques, we establish that our construction enables to classify as well twisted forms for modules over Hopf-Galois extensions as torsors over Hopf-modules.
