Idea

For H\mathbf{H} an ∞-topos and for GGrp(H)G \in Grp(\mathbf{H}) an ∞-group in H\mathbf{H}, the higher analog of group cohomology of GG is the cohomology of the delooping object BGH\mathbf{B}G \in \mathbf{H}.

Given a cocycle BGB n+1A\mathbf{B}G \longrightarrow \mathbf{B}^{n+1} A in the \infty-group cohomology of GG, then its homotopy fiber (the principal ∞-bundle over BG\mathbf{B}G that it modulates) is the corresponding ∞-group extension.

Examples

representation theory and equivariant cohomology in terms of (∞,1)-topos theory/homotopy type theory (FSS 12 I, exmp. 4.4):
