group"

Abstract: Given a set of compatible (local) data, the gluing
problem asks if it is possible to find a global object with the given local
data. We shall consider this problem in the context of biset
functors and solve it for some well-known biset
functors. As an application, we will obtain an easy proof of the recent classification
of endo-trivial modules.
