Abstract: We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories of representations of a subgroup $H$ can be constructed out of the corresponding category for $G$ by a purely triangulated-categorical construction, analogous to 'etale extension in algebraic geometry. In the case of finite groups, we then use descent methods to investigate when modular representations of the subgroup $H$ can be extended to $G$. We show that the presheaves of plain, derived and stable representations all form stacks on the category of finite $G$-sets (or the orbit category of $G$), with respect to a suitable Grothendieck topology that we call the sipp topology. When $H$ contains a Sylow subgroup of $G$, we use sipp Cech cohomology to describe the kernel and the image of the homomorphism $T(G)oT(H)$, where $T(-)$ denotes the group of endotrivial representations.
