Abstract: Suppose that (G,T) is a second countable locally compact transformation group given by a homomorphism ell:GoHomeo(T), and that A is a separable continuous-trace cs-algebra with spectrum T. An action alpha:GoAut(A) is said to cover ell if the induced action of G on T coincides with the original one. We prove that the set of Morita equivalence classes of such systems forms a group with multiplication given by the balanced tensor product: , and we refer to as the Equivariant Brauer Group. We give a detailed analysis of the structure of in terms of the Moore cohomology of the group G and the integral cohomology of the space T. Using this, we can characterize the stable continuous-trace cs-algebras with spectrum T which admit actions covering ell. In particular, we prove that if G=R, then every stable continuous-trace cs-algebra admits an (essentially unique) action covering~ell, thereby substantially improving results of Raeburn and Rosenberg.
