Cohomology of linking systems with twisted coefficients by a $p$-solvable action

Abstract

In this paper we study the cohomology of the geometric realization of linking systems with twisted coefficients. More precisely, given a prime $p$ and a $p$-local finite group $(S,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{L})$, we compare the cohomology of $\mathcal{L}$ with twisted coefficients with the submodule of $\mathcal{F}^c$-stable elements in the cohomology of $S$. We start with the particular case of constrained fusion systems. Then, we study the case of $p$-solvable actions on the coefficients.
